Consoles update

Hello Miners!


As promised - more info about X1 and PS4 ports below - there’s also something for PC fans!

What to expect from X1 and PS4 versions?
  • 1:1 port of gold mining experience from PC,
  • entire gameplay content released so far,
  • 2 years of updates and fixes already in.

As you might know the end of the year in game dev industry is pretty intense. Our studio is making sure that the upcoming release is thoroughly checked for any possible issues. Quality improvements should be also experienced in PC version.

What delays us the most is continuous synchronization between living PC game and the upcoming ports. We know that we tentatively announced ports for Q4 2019, but there are 2 essential steps ahead of us:
  • Certification testing (mandatory for publishing the game on consoles)
  • Setting release date with all partners (not only publishers – it’s a licensed product after all)


Those are the main reasons why we have to delay the release (unofficially to Q1 2020) – and for that we are truly sorry. We are totally aware that you are waiting for console version for such a long time – we can promise that you’ll be the first to know if there’s ANY new info.

Be sure that we will continue to support PC version and leaderboard system. You keep sending us so many amazing ideas, it would be shame not to use them to create more content!

And again - thank you for your continuous support – there’s no Gold Rush without you!

P.S. There’s Xmas gift for everyone with PC version - we planned Free DLC event with one of our existing DLCs – please stay tuned for more info.

INTO THE FUTURE

Hi Miners!

TL;DR we will post more often, ports are coming, maybe new content as well.

THE PAST

2019 was a tough year for us - supporting Gold Rush with new content,
introducing leaderboards and releasing another game was a bit too much for us.

The result was predictable - we released less, we were not happy with quality
and communication was poor. We are truly sorry - you guys just deserve more!

After many internal debates, we decided to focus 100% on Gold Rush.
The plan was to deliver complete experience - with all the patches, fixes and
content released for 2 years.

THE FUTURE
Starting next week, we will deliver continous updates on ports progress - we are almost there.
It will contain all the stuff from PC version.

After that, we will focus on delivering more updates for all the platforms.

Thank you for being with us even when times were rough.

Let's mine some gold!
