What’s Next?

We have started working on a new map and are planning to release it this summer. We will also be sharing development updates on our Discord server.
We have begun working on bringing Log Riders to consoles. There is no confirmed timeline yet, but we will keep you updated as development progresses.
We are planning to announce official Steam Deck support on the store page in the coming weeks once the review process is complete.
