"Schedule I Patch 5 Updates Game to Version 0.3.3f14, Content Update Coming This Weekend"

Schedule I, the viral drug dealer simulation game on Steam, has received its latest update with Patch 5, now at version 0.3.3f14. This update comes on the heels of the game's explosive success, which has seen it surpass major titles like Monster Hunter Wilds, GTA 5, and Marvel Rivals in sales. Developed and published by the Australian indie developer Tyler, under the moniker TVGS, Schedule I has players navigating the underworld from a small-time dealer to a kingpin in the gritty city of Hyland Point.

Tyler has expressed astonishment at the game's reception, stating on Reddit, "I never expected this kind of response! At the moment I’m just trying to stay focussed 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, multiplayer, and casino bugs, alongside implementing pathfinding validity checks to reduce crashes.
