Hey Youtubers! We're getting closer to the release of this big update we've been talking about over the past few weeks. If you haven’t checked out the previous posts, we recommend visiting our Steam news articles about Youtubers Life 3. You’ll discover the exciting new world that’s coming!

🎧 How to access the minigame
As mentioned in the post about the new video types, the last one is the Podcast. It’s a type of video with a completely new and independent recording minigame, similar to Streaming.
To record it, you’ll need to go to an event that has a Podcast table (there are currently two: in Galaxy Disco and Swimming Elite Club). Once there, simply interact with the Podcast table to start the match.
🎮 How to play
This is an online minigame for 2 to 5 players, designed to capture the feeling of a real podcast: everyone wants to talk, but you must be patient and wait your turn. The worst thing you can do is talk at the same time as someone else!
When you enter, there’s a lobby where players wait for others to join:
Once everyone’s ready, the game begins!
The mechanics are very simple:
- Each player has a set of topics (emojis) to spend.
- The first one to run out of topics wins the match.
- Each round, the game suggests a topic (represented by an emoji).
- If it matches one of yours, you spend it. If not, you receive two new penalty emojis.
The twist is in the timing: if two players “speak” (use an emoji) at the same time, both are penalized with two new emojis. You’ll need wit and strategy to avoid overlapping with others.
🏆 Reward
When the match ends, you’ll receive a recorded video as a reward, which you can later edit and publish at home. The video’s quality depends on your final position in the match.
✨ Conclusions
This will be the only online feature included in this update. We know some of you have expressed concerns about the number of concurrent players and how hard it can be to find a match.
We’re confident that the number of players will grow after the release of version 1.0, which we’ve been working on for months. This update will make the game deeper, more engaging, and more accessible, bringing back the essence of the previous entries but with a much stronger single-player experience.
Our goal is to ensure a successful launch that brings back original players and attracts new creators to the community.
There are still more features to reveal in the coming weeks, and while there’s no release date yet, we invite you to stay tuned every Friday for our updates.
We can’t wait for you to experience everything coming in this big update!
