Dear Astronauts,
Today we present to you with great pride our Deliver Us Mars 2.0 update that has improved a wealth of issues and addressed feedback from our players in the PC, PlayStation® 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of the game. In secret, through the challenging waves of being an independent studio, we’ve been focused on making sure this update is the greatest we’ve done so far. We want to make it clear that we've heard you in the tweaks we’ve made, and we also have some exciting new features as a way to celebrate this huge milestone. We are very thankful for all your comments and the amount of heartwarming messages you send us every day. This update is for you, the players, as you are more important to us than anyone else, and we hope you enjoy what we’ve accomplished here.

Seeing the player’s perspective through this lens is very exciting to us, and it makes you re-discover the game in a whole new way. Definitely send us all your shots, pictures and messages, we would love to hear everything you have to say as we will finally be more active on our forums and other channels to talk more directly to you.
