Streets of Rogue update for 3 July 2019

Here we are, the final beta update before the game releases out of Early Access on July 12th! And one day early to boot, I didn’t want to release this on the July 4th holiday.

In case you missed it, Streets of Rogue is going to be releasing on Xbox One, PS4 and Switch on July 12th as well. You can find all the details in this post.

This is a major, major milestone, and I am beyond excited and anxious. Streets of Rogue fans, please help spread the word, and let’s give this scrappy indie a bigger launch than Cyberpunk 2077! OK so that may be a little.. ambitious, but as I always say, aim really high and you’ll fail much higher than you otherwise would have!

For more info on the current state of development, check out my "What’s Being Worked On" post on the forums.

Last update’s “Double Fortnight Discussion” continues with the Final Thoughts Free-For-All.
