Hello Rifters! We want to share a quick update with you from the development team.

Lost Rift will be receiving its first Content Update next month, in December! We'll be sharing screenshots and information about this exciting content update, which will include multiple features mentioned in our roadmap, with you as we work towards our release date.

As a result of all our manpower being devoted to making Content Update 1 the best it can be, we have opted to combine the changes from Patch 2 into Content Update 1. There will not be a Patch 2 this month. This will allow us to release the most stable and polished content update possible.

Please note that we still plan to release a hotfix next week to address some of the most critical issues, including crashes during Expedition.

We understand you're all itching for new updates and new content, and we are eager to share it with you next month. Thank you for your continued support.

Exciting news for Rifters on the go! We are happy to announce that Lost Rift is now fully playable and officially Verified on the Steam Deck. Whether you're hunkering down in your base camp or diving into a high-stakes Expeditions, you can now take the full Lost Rift experience with you anywhere.

We've ensured full controller support, legible text, and optimized performance to deliver the most enjoyable portable survival adventure possible. So grab your Steam Deck and start your journey to master of the Rift.

Hello Rifters,

We know it has been rough for Lost Rift and our community recently. We want to be transparent with you all and acknowledge the recent major issues that many of you have faced since the release of Patch 1. These issues include server instability, latency fluctuations, and, most frustratingly, the loss of your items and disappearance of wooden storage chests. People Can Fly is committed to improving the quality of Lost Rift, and we are planning a series of hotfixes as well as another upcoming patch to address the issues.

Behind the scenes, our team has been working hard to fix problems by deploying multiple hotfixes and rollbacks for affected players over the last week. The steps taken resolved some issues, but we know issues still remain for many of you. We are triaging the severity of problems and have put out a hotfix today, October 30th, to address the most critical server performance issues we’ve identified post-patch.

Regarding the disappearance of chests for existing worlds prior to Patch 1, we have adjusted our priorities to more quickly implement an in-game mail system that will allow us to properly compensate affected players. While its immediate purpose is to help restore what was lost from this specific issue, it will also serve as a foundation for future community rewards and communications. This tool is a complex system that touches on multiple parts of the game, so realistically, it’s a few weeks of development time away. We understand how infuriating it can be to see that progress disappear without immediate resolution, but please try to be patient with us as we are aiming to make this happen as soon as possible.

Our team will continue to do everything we can to make things right for our community. We are very grateful to those of you who have stuck with us through this rough patch. As always, we thank you for your continued support as we work to make Lost Rift the best game that we know it can be.
