Phantom Gear changes
Lots of good news to share today! We’re covering everything from the latest game build and shipping timelines to some awesome showcase recognition. Let’s get straight into it!
The Gold Build & Hardware Testing
Our current build is in fantastic shape: zero major bugs, zero blockers. Everything is running clean. Because of that, our next immediate step is jumping into end-to-end hardware testing very soon. We’ll be running full playthroughs on physical hardware to make sure performance is rock-solid on real gear.
Fulfillment Update
The news you’ve all been waiting for: we are right on track to begin full fulfillment in October 2026!! Production and logistics are moving forward as planned, and we're looking forward to getting these out the door! 🫡
