The four planned updates
The developers published this roadmap on October 7, 2026, two days before launch. It names the highlights of each update in order. It gives no release dates, and it says there is “a lot more” beyond these four.
| Update | Planned content | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Update 1 | Combat animation improvements from melee to bow. A map content update with new chests, hidden treasures, recipes and items. Quality-of-life improvements for crafting, building and inventory. New firearms and clothing sets. | Not released. No date announced. |
| Update 2 | Weapon parts in crafting, so you can build more weapons yourself. More firearms, more side quests and more story. | Not released. No date announced. |
| Update 3 | A sledgehammer for demolishing obstacles and new destructible objects. Two new firearms. | Not released. No date announced. |
| Update 4 | A new biome, White Hell, described as the most dangerous, with new enemies, distinct locations and its own story. Four new firearms, a new torch type and general quality-of-life upgrades. | Not released. No date announced. |

What has actually shipped so far
Since launch on October 9, 2026 there have been only hotfixes, no numbered update. The pre-launch build also brought changes the developers had promised after the two-hour preview.
| Date | Release | What changed |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 9, 2026 | Launch build | Rebindable movement keys, performance improvements, co-op improvements and localization fixes, based on preview feedback. |
| Oct 9, 2026 | Hotfix | FSR disabled on NVIDIA RTX 20 and 30 series cards to reduce crashes. |
| Oct 9, 2026 | Hotfix 2 | FSR disabled on NVIDIA RTX 40 and 50 series cards to reduce crashes. |
The developers said more hotfixes would follow over the weekend of October 10–11. The crash-related ones are covered on the crash fixes page, and the full list is in their Steam announcements (external site).
What is saved for version 1.0
Separate from the four updates, the developers expect Early Access to last at least 12 months. For the full release they plan to add several new biomes, quests, NPCs, enemies, equipment and vehicles. None of that is in the current build. They also say the price is very likely to rise during Early Access.
Is White Hell playable yet?
Not confirmed. The roadmap puts the White Hell biome in Update 4, yet the Steam achievement Hell Runner already refers to completing White Hell. Nothing official explains the difference, so this page treats White Hell as unreleased. The achievements page lists all 42.
