Schedule 1's 'Cartel' Update: Get Ready to Deal (Virtually) Next Week!
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
The 'Cartel' update for *Schedule 1* is heading to the beta branch next week, letting players embrace their inner virtual kingpin (with the usual beta caveats, of course). Good news for our Aussie mates too - *Schedule 1* is back on Steam!
Right, so TVGS, the lone wolf developer behind the surprisingly addictive crime sim *Schedule 1*, is about to drop a hefty update on us. And not just any update, mate, the one we voted for: the 'Cartel' update. Remember that? Good times.
According to Game Rant, who spotted the news, this bad boy is hitting the beta branch next week. That means as early as Monday, August 4th, we could be diving headfirst into a world of virtual… well, you get the idea.
*Schedule 1*, for those who've been living under a digital rock, exploded onto the scene earlier this year. Nearly half a million concurrent players on Steam? Crikey, that's impressive for an indie title still in early access. It's seen a fair few updates already, but this 'Cartel' business is the first *big* one, fueled by the glorious will of the playerbase. We chose it, remember? We *demanded* it. Now, let's hope it doesn't disappoint.
TVGS let players choose between the 'Cartel', 'Shrooms', and 'Police Expansion' updates. The people have spoken, and the digital narcos have won! (For now, anyway).
Now, about that beta… Anyone can jump in. Steam, right-click, Properties, Betas, the usual drill. But fair warning, it's a *beta*. Bugs? Glitches? Performance issues? Almost guaranteed. Think of it like volunteering to test a dodgy new spell – could be amazing, could blow up in your face. If you're after a smoother, less explodey experience, waiting a week or two for the full release is probably the wiser move. But where's the fun in that, eh?
And here's a bit of good news for our Aussie mates: *Schedule 1* is back on Steam down under, after a brief hiatus due to some age rating shenanigans. Talk about timing! Just in time to embrace your inner virtual cartel boss. So, all in all, looks like we are set to spend some time in the digital underbelly next week. Don't forget to report your findings on broken noses or broken features!
