Patches FAQ
What counts as a patch here?
Publisher milestones, demo drops, Steam dev logs, and planned launch rows — not community bug threads or invented 1.0.1 hotfixes.
Where is the Wholesome Direct 2026 node?
June 6, 2026 row — Marvelous USA/Europe PR joined Wholesome Direct with trailer + pre-orders; separate from the expanded demo row.
Is launch pricing a gameplay patch?
No — commercial MSRP/discount announcement only. See /version-history for the pricing table archive. Version history
How is this different from /events?
/events is the news watchlist; this page is the patch/milestone timeline with affected route slugs. Updates
Demo / preview notes · recheck after July 7, 2026 launch. We do not publish gift tiers or recipe quantities without a tracked reference.
