We're not trying to blame anyone here, let's all take a step back.

We know certification takes a while, so we started this process before 1.0 was complete, instead of starting certification at the time of 1.0's full completion and have Game Pass users wait that week or two. This is why the version that was meant to get through the process at this time was a slightly pre-1.0 build, and why the true 1.0 release is coming in a week or two.

The unfortunate setback was discovered quite literally moments after launch, and we can't do anything about it other than wait. So, yeah, sucks...but at least it's only a day and not a couple weeks!

If this is going to take longer, can we get steam keys for the people who bought the game on microsoft store?

These are separate storefronts so we cannot take from one to give to the other. Sorry!

Just to make this clear: when you say it will take a day for re-certification, you mean re-certification of the less-than-1%-away-from-full-release build, right? So we'll probably get this "0.99" build tomorrow, then the true 1.0 build in about a week? Not a big deal either way, just wanted to make sure I understand correctly.

Yes, you got this correct!

Any idea when MacOS build will be complete?

Great question! Our full undivided attention is currently on MacOC right now. We're hoping not too long, but it's hard to say given all possible outliers. It's hard to give a specific time, though I would be surprised if it took longer than a few months.

I'm certain we'll make announcements as we make progress and have a more definitive timeframe.

Sorry can you clarify, are you expecting the slightly older build to update tomorrow? I.e will I be able to play this weekend?

It appears the Game Pass build will be updated tomorrow, it's hard to say a specific time but we're hopeful it will be before it gets later in the day. Sorry about the delay, but thank you for your patience.

People got off work earlier to play today. You guys could have at least said sooner that there will be trouble :/

Truly, I am sorry you missed out on an opportunity here. Though please know, I sent that message regarding Game Pass within about 2 minutes of finding out about it.

Any particular reason you guys removing comments? I think its fair statement to say im disappointed about Game Pass situation?

Goodness gravy, not fixed...trying to figure out what's going on here. I don't see any deleted messages. Was it in another post?

Hey there, Game Pass will be updated soon as well with a slightly older build (it's less than 1% away from the full release) so we could navigate around Microsoft certification and to get our players playing immediately. The true full release will be after this verification process, probably a week or so.

And don't worry; anything you do in this build will absolutely carry over to the full Game Pass build without missing anything. The adjustments are bugs, tweaks, and the like. All the content is present!

UPDATE for Game Pass: It looks like we have to wait a day for some kind of re-certification as this is their process and it cannot be circumvented(!!!).

Ugh. I'm sorry guys. If there's anything else we can do to push this out the door, we will.

Hey u/Giraffasaur_ , I guess you decided not to do a release day livestream then?

We are! In about 30ish minutes.

We're getting some information as I'm composing this message. Frustratingly, it's looking like because we have two MS certificates close together it might have caused an unexpected delay. Thank you for your patience as I gather more info; I'll follow-up.
