"Schedule I Patch 5 Updates Game to Version 0.3.3f14, Content Update Coming This Weekend"

Following its overnight viral success on Steam, Schedule I continues to receive post-launch updates, with the latest being Patch 5, which elevates the drug dealer simulation game to version 0.3.3f14. This patch brings several crucial improvements, but the most exciting news for players is the upcoming first content update set to launch this weekend.

Schedule I has skyrocketed to become the top-selling game on Steam, surpassing major titles like Monster Hunter Wilds, GTA 5, and Marvel Rivals. Its viral spread across social media, Twitch, and YouTube has attracted a massive player base. In the game, you start as a small-time dealer and work your way up to becoming a kingpin, managing the production and distribution of various drugs in the gritty city of Hyland Point. You can expand your empire by acquiring properties, businesses, and hiring employees.

The game is developed and published by TVGS, the Australian indie developer known as Tyler, who described Schedule I's explosive launch as "amazing but pretty overwhelming." In a Reddit post, Tyler expressed his surprise at the game's reception, stating, "I never expected this kind of response! At the moment, I’m just trying to stay focused and get patches out ASAP. Also looking forward to getting started on content updates as soon as all major bugs are patched."

Patch 5 addresses numerous issues, including employee bugs, multiplayer bugs, and casino bugs. Tyler has also introduced several pathfinding validity checks to prevent crashes. Here are the detailed patch notes for Schedule I Update 5 version 0.3.3f14:
