DREDGE News

Dredge is one of the greatest PC horror games, and now it's free, if you're fast

When I look back at my favorite indies of the last couple of years, it's impossible for Dredge not to drift right to the front of my mind.

DREDGE Hotfix v1.5.3

Hey Anglers,

We've just released update 1.5.3 for DREDGE. This update addresses what should hopefully be the last round of bugs for The Iron Rig.

[h2]Patch Notes:[/h2]
[h3]Fixes[/h3]
  • Fixed an issue where the Aurous Anchor could be duplicated. Players who already have excess Aurous Anchors can get rid of them by doing the following: Deploying them all at sea (via Inventory > Cast Overboard). Save and Quit the game. When loading, only 1 will be preserved, which you can collect.
  • Fixed an issue where 16:10 aspect ratios were considered unsupported.
  • Fixed an issue where a handful of ooze spots in Twisted Strand and Stellar Basin could not be cleared under certain conditions.
  • Fixed an issue where SteamDeck detection was not working in certain conditions.


Thank you for your continued support!
