Stranded Deep News

Hi everyone,

[h3]A new experimental build (0.78.00) is now live![/h3]

For this build we focused on some requested tweaks and quality-of-life fixes. We had more planned for this update and were hoping to get them in, but they just didn’t make it into this update. A second round of tweaks and fixes will be out shortly!

Stay Alive!

Hey everyone,

[h3]A new stable build (0.76.00) is live![/h3]

The 0.76.00 update transitions our recent work on the experimental branch to the stable branch, including the new Save Slots, bug fixes, and more polish. Check out the patch notes below if you haven’t been playing on the experimental branch.

One of the bigger behind-the-scenes changes is that save game data has moved, from:
%USERPROFILE%\\Documents\\Stranded Deep\\ to:
%USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\LocalLow\\Beam Team Games\\Stranded Deep\\

The game will notify you and attempt to import your existing save data. If you experience any issues during the migration process, please see the guide for more information:

As always, the previous stable branch is available in the branches list if you need to roll-back for any reason.

We hope everyone has a safe and happy holidays!

Stay Alive!
