XBox Console Patch Released

Good news, Xbox pilots! Our tech engineers worked with our friends at Microsoft overnight, and the stuttering on Xbox Series has been fixed.

Version 1.0.35353 is now live on the Xbox Store and available for download.

The patch is quite large (26 GB) due to a new data structure which we've had to deploy.

Thanks for your patience! Happy space piloting! 🚀

It's a 26 GB update. This was no small fck up. And why in the sweet Mary hell wasn't it tested also on a commercial Xbox as well as Dev kits. That's as basic as testing gets for Christ sake and you're here slobbering over their junk.

Guys like you are why the industry is in the state it is.

Hey there, we can understand your frustration with various game industry issues. However, this was a rather small issue that is surprisingly complicated to explain. I'll keep it short, though.

There are a lot of flags in the build pipeline for how the engine packages the game, and a lot can go wrong here. The good news is that because all our internal testing indicated sound results, as the user results started rolling in we were able to ascertain what flag needed to be adjusted. It ended up being a very small "fck up." Because this changed how the engine packaged the game, the patch itself ended up being quite large.

We also have to give praise to Microsoft, as they were quick to support, certify, and approve the change. It isn't uncommon for a process like this to require days - sometimes weeks - but here we are after a jump and a skip with the issue resolved.

I do get your frustration, and I don't think it's wrong to expect perfection from developers. However, I hope you can see a strong intentionality from acting quickly and communicating clearly so as to not leave anyone hanging high and dry.

TL;DR - There was a little issue. We fixed it and hope the game brings enjoyment in the way it brings us joy.
