Walk of Life 1.0 is finally here!

What's that? The world's most competitive life simulator, Walk of Life, has completed its Early Access development and officially launched version 1.0 of the game? This news would probably threaten my very concept of reality, if I wasn't one of the developers!

Like a passenger plane going through intense turbulence, the ride here has been fun and bumpy! Whether you've waded through the bug-infested swamps of Early Access with us or are just joining us now, we're sure you'll have a blast with Walk of Life.

What's New in the 1.0 Update?

Our full release patch is way over the weight limit, packed with content that includes the Chailand map, the brand new Mystic role, new and updated pets, an expanded fishing system, the Arcade location and more. The patch marks the implementation of every feature promised on Walk of Life's Early Access Roadmap (apart from mod support. We know, we know! It's coming!)

Check out the full patch notes below if you want all of the changes in detail, or just blindly dive in and get pleasantly surprised by all the new content the game has to offer. Also make sure to swing by our official Discord, where you can join our community of players that range from cozy gamers to incredible tryhards!

What's Next for Walk of Life?

As the dust of full release settles, there are still things we hope to add to the game. We have not forgotten our promise of mod support, and we have ideas for content, ranging from grounded to straight up bonkers, that we are workshopping right now! Make sure to stay tuned to our Steam dev blogs in the coming days for more info!

Finally, we just want to give a mushy, tear-jerking THANK YOU to all of you for giving our silly game a chance. The reviews you've given us so far have been very moving, so if you haven't let us know how you feel about the game, make sure to let us know in the Steam reviews! That's it. That's the blog. Now go play Walk of Life. PATCH NOTES: * Game is out of Early Access!!
