Dead Grid Patch Notes — January 5, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Greetings Mercs and Happy New Year!
Update 1.0 is now feature-complete and undergoing internal testing. A major highlight of this release is visual camp progression, with 8 distinct rooms you’ll upgrade over time as your camp grows. Here’s a quick preview of the 3D camp.
RELEASE DATE
Because I want to make sure the launch experience meets expectations, I've decided to move the release date to January 26 at 6:00 AM PST.
Why?
Some last-minute bugs remain that must be fixed
Controller tuning is not complete
Time is needed for some additional trailer/marketing work
Solo development comes with many surprises near the finish line, and I appreciate your patience and understanding.
SAVE COMPATIBILITY
Due to the major progression features introduced in 1.0, previous Early Access saves will not be compatible.
If you’ve played during Early Access, your saves will not be deleted. A separate Steam branch will be available with the final Early Access build, allowing you to continue if you wish.
This is the first time I've had to force new saves since the original release to Early Access, it was not a decision I made lightly but unfortunately it must be done.
ACHIEVEMENTS
Previously earned Steam achievements will remain intact. However, in-game achievements (Fame) will reset with 1.0.
Thank you!
