addedThere's a lot new in 1.0 -- more worlds, more ways to die, real boss fights, a thrust mechanic for getting out of trouble, the leaderboards got a proper stats panel -- but we'll do the full write-up on launch day. Today is just so nobody's surprised when the store page changes.

Quick note for everyone playing or thinking about it:

On Jun 8, 2026 to coincide with Steam's upcoming Bulletfest game sale, Electro Havoc leaves Early Access and 1.0 goes live. At that point the game will become a paid product on Steam. Until then, the Early Access build is still free. If you've been meaning to try it, this is the window.

A few things worth knowing:

  • If you already have Electro Havoc, you keep it. No re-purchase, no save wipe, no catch.

  • Your Steam Cloud saves carry forward -- your progression, your leaderboard scores, all come with you into 1.0.

  • The 1.0 update lands the same day for everyone -- EA players and new buyers get the same build.

There's a lot new in 1.0 -- more worlds, more ways to die, real boss fights, a thrust mechanic for getting out of trouble, the leaderboards got a proper stats panel -- but we'll do the full write-up on launch day. Today is just so nobody's surprised when the store page changes.

Thanks for putting in the time during Early Access. Some of the leaderboard scores out there are genuinely absurd. Big ❤️.

See you on Jun 8!
