| In-game event | November 2024 Update blog We’re very happy to bring you another polish update to Broken Roads, including increased font size when using the Large Font setting (especially handy on Steam Deck), improved companion reactions depending on player choices, removing some of the ‘teleporting’ moments that some players found rail-roady, TONS of combat, weapon and consumable balancing, plus a couple of spoilery bits and pieces we… | — | |
| In-game event | AUGUST PATCH 2024 🔥 Hey everyone! We have a new patch for you and we've updated and fixed quite a bit. One of the big things here is we just took so much (I believe all) of the flirtatious/sexual advances out of the game. The feedback and general community consensus was that they were very poorly executed and there was not a good balance of them. We would have rather we did them right or not at all, and so now the… | — | |
| In-game event | 🔥 HOTFIX - July Hotfix notes · Fixed a bug where some players would not have the required NPCs spawning at The Ingot during the Liberty and Necessity quest. This will be solved the next time the player’s party spawns into Kalgoorlie. · Fixed the bug of being able to infinitely pick up one of the Barter Crew Special (jackpot trade) numberplates in Narembeen. · Added pine pitch to Karak’s shop and Tin Man’s shop… | — | |
| In-game event | 🔥 JUNE 2024 UPDATE 🔥 Hi all, We’re thrilled to be bringing you our second major update since launch . This should be considered more of a hotfix than a major content update (although that is in the works) as it addresses many small bugs, quest logic fixes, a late-game issue that could cause a soft lock for some players, item and container fixes to vendor inventories, tweaks to certain skill checks, and more. We’re… | — | |

| In-game event | April PC Update Hey everyone, Thank you for your ongoing patience while we address player feedback, add requested features, and, of course, continue to fix bugs. The major changes in this patch are that you can now manually level up your companions. There are now auto-assign buttons for each companion on level-up, following the same auto-level profiles that they had at launch. Just like when leveling up your p… | — | |
| Community | What's next? Post-Launch Roadmap This launch has been a rough one. We’re glad so many people have enjoyed playing the game. We’ve loved watching the streams, engaging with you all and hearing about your positive experience with Broken Roads. But we know that, overall, we’ve fallen short of player expectations in some key areas and in many ways we’ve not delivered the quality game we had hoped to ship, so we’re changing that. O… | — | |
