Timeline
Separate game patches from platform launches
| Milestone | Date | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PC launch | March 4, 2021 | Original Windows/macOS/Linux-era release line. |
| v1.1 | June 2021 | Expedition save/exit, speed options, inventory locking, deck tools, new tiles and enemies. |
| Switch | December 9, 2021 | Console edition, not a PC balance version number. |
| v1.153–1.155 | April–June 2022 | Controller work and small PC fixes in official notes. |
| Xbox | April 4, 2023 | First Xbox release. |
| Mobile | April 30, 2024 | Playdigious touch-focused edition; later mobile version history is separate. |
Roadmap caution
An old development statement is not a release promise
The April 2022 v1.153 note said work on a major update had stopped at roughly 80 percent and might continue. That historical statement does not establish that the update shipped, became DLC or has a 2026 date. A trustworthy update tracker waits for a dated developer release announcement and version-specific notes.
Search headlines labeled update 2025 or update 2026 can refer to an old article being refreshed, a sale, a mobile-store change or community speculation. Confirm the publisher, game title, platform, version and release state before moving any claim into a guide.
Patch hygiene
Protect saves before changing branches or files
- Allow cloud synchronization to finish.
- Record platform and visible version.
- Use the official store update or verification function.
- Disable unsupported mods before blaming a patch.
- Do not move a mobile save into the PC branch.
- Keep planned, beta, released and platform-port statuses separate.
