Schedule I, the drug dealer simulation game that took Steam by storm, is rolling out its latest update, Patch 5, bringing the game to version 0.3.3f14. This update comes hot on the heels of the game's viral success, which saw it climb to the top of Steam's sales charts, outpacing giants like Monster Hunter Wilds, GTA 5, and Marvel Rivals. Developed and published by Australian indie developer Tyler, under the banner of TVGS, Schedule I has captivated players with its gritty journey from a small-time dealer to a powerful kingpin in the fictional city of Hyland Point.

Tyler, overwhelmed yet thrilled by the game's reception, expressed gratitude on Reddit, saying, "I never expected this kind of response! At the moment I’m just trying to stay focused and get patches out ASAP. Also looking forward to getting started on content updates as soon as all major bugs are patched." True to his word, Patch 5 addresses several critical issues, including employee bugs, multiplayer bugs, and casino-related glitches, alongside implementing pathfinding validity checks to prevent crashes.
