Hello Miners!

Today, we released a tiny security patch on Steam. Version 1.0.87p (same as the last version number)

Unity Technologies have found a security flaw in their engine that affects Windows, and todays update has that flaw patched out.

Unity says that they have no knowledge of anyone exploiting this issue, and no users have been at risk.

For Deep Rock Galactic : Survivor - no one was ever at risk, since this is a single player game (unless you accidentally invited a hacker physically into your house with a USB stick).
Unity and Microsoft have already updated Windows Defender, so without this patch, you might experience issues with being allowed to play the game.
No other changes are included in this patch.

For technical details on the vulnerability see https://unity.com/security/sept-2025-01#details

[p][/p][p]As promised, we have just released an update addressing a ton of issues and bug reports we have received since the 1.0 launch. Thank you so much for your feedback, and please keep it coming!
[/p][h2]Features[/h2][p]New Gate Missions
Gate missions are now locked to specific biomes and come with nasty outbreak mutators. To boost morale, each dwarf will be given a mandatory pep talk and a shiny artifact to lug into the dive. Do the company proud![/p][p]VFX Slider
Explosions look awesome. Too awesome, in some circumstances. To address this, we've added a VFX slider that lets you tone down explosions (and other effects), making it easier to see glyphids on the map. [/p][p]Anomaly Dives
Management has approved B0b-33 for missions in Vanilla, Bloody Learner, Hardcore, and Company Man anomalies. Additionally, Elimination can now once again be played in the vanilla anomaly dive.[/p][p][/p][h2]Fixes[/h2]

[h2]Hello Miners,[/h2][p]First off, a huge THANK YOU for the warm reception, reactions, and feedback to the 1.0 launch of Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor! Your support means the world to us, and we’ve been reading and discussing everything you’ve shared. Keep it coming! It helps us make the game even better, because we’re not done yet.[/p][p] [/p][h3]Hotfix + Upcoming Patch[/h3][p]We’ve got a hotfix lined up for this week (hopefully tomorrow). This update fixes an annoying controller input issue where a tap wouldn’t register if a button was held down too long. Thank you for reporting this! [/p][p]Looking a bit further ahead, we’re preparing another patch targeted for the end of next week (assuming all goes as planned). This patch will include: [/p]

• [p]New Gate design. We are aiming to make it feel more like a proper gate that you will have to overcome to progress[/p]
• [p]Escort anomalies (Bloody Learner, Vanilla, Hardcore, and Company Man)[/p]
• [p]Small balance pass[/p]
• [p]Smaller QoL fixes[/p]
• [p]Achievement bug fixes[/p]
• [p]Unlock bug fixes[/p]
• [p]Various smaller bug fixes [/p]

[p]And we’re just getting started. A major focus for us now is optimizing the game and laying the groundwork for the next big content update. We’ll share more details once we’re closer, but rest assured: we see 1.0 as the foundation to build on, not the end. [/p][p][/p][h3]DRG: Survivor is coming to Mobile![/h3][p]We’re thrilled to announce that Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is coming to both Android and iOS later this year. The mobile version is being ported by our partners at Piktiv, which lets the Funday team stay focused on making new content while ensuring Survivor gets a proper mobile edition.[/p][p]The mobile release will use a “try before you buy” model:[/p]

• [p]Play the Elimination mission as Scout in Crystalline Caverns on Hazard 1, completely free.[/p]
• [p]Upgrade with a one-time purchase to unlock the full game. Same gameplay and content as on PC.[/p]
• [p]No ads. No gimmicks. Just mining, shooting, and surviving.[/p]
• [p]Portrait AND Landscape mode![/p]

[p]You can already pre-register today (like wishlisting on mobile) to be notified when we go live.[/p][p]
Google Play Apple App Store[/p][p][/p][p]Edit: There's currently an issue with accessing the Apple App Store page in some European countries. We're working hard to get it fixed.[/p][p][/p][p]Rock and Stone![/p][p][/p]
