The overnight Steam hit,Schedule 1, just got some much-needed fixes and gameplay improvements with a new beta update. While this new update is currently in beta and not applied to the fully released game, it’s aiming to address a lot of player concerns about bugs, glitches, and also add some quality-of-life improvements.
Patch v0.3.4f5 was released in beta on April 15, and it addresses common bugs, like Mick (the Pawn Shop owner) not appearing when he was supposed to, as well as adjustments to NPC effects and how some mechanics work in the game. Thepatch is expected to release out of beta and into the full game later this week, according to solo developer, Tyler. Full patch notes can be found on Reddit thanks toSchedule 1moderator,HBizzle24. The patch does not contain any new content for the game, unlikethe previousSchedule 1April update.

Schedule 1 Continues To Deliver
Consistently Fast Updates For An Overnight Hit
Schedule 1has seen fast updates since the game’s release back in March, and it seems like fans can’t get enough of it, withthe game temporarily seeing concurrent player counts on Steam higher than mega-games likeMonster Hunter WildsandGTA 5. The game has also seen a prettyextensive mod scene, for a title that’s not even a month old. With updates coming as fast as they are, and bigger content updates also planned,Schedule 1fans might have a title to come back to for a very long time.
While this patch doesn’t include any new content, the changes to chemist and botanist cauldrons, as well as fixing issues with Mick not appearing correctly,Schedule 1seems to be in the best place it has been since release. The game appears to be on the right track to keep players satisfied with the current game and future content.
