The wildly successful drug simulation game Schedule I continues rolling out post-launch updates after its explosive Steam debut. Patch 5 arrives as version 0.3.3f14, delivering key improvements alongside developer confirmation that the first major content expansion launches this weekend.
Currently Steam's top-selling title, Schedule I has outperformed industry giants like Monster Hunter Wilds and GTA 5 following viral traction across social platforms. Players build criminal empires in Hyland Point's gritty underworld - progressing from street-level dealing to managing production networks, real estate holdings, and crew operations.
Solo developer Tyler of Australian studio TVGS describes Schedule I's unexpected success as "amazing but overwhelming." In a Reddit post, Tyler shared: "The response has been incredible. Right now I'm focused on rapid bug fixes before turning to content updates."
Patch 5 specifically addresses multiplayer stability issues, NPC behavior, and casino gameplay bugs. Notable improvements include smarter employee AI, optimized NPC rendering, and crash-prevention measures for certain hardware configurations.
