Hello everyone! SimplePlanes 2 has been out for a few days now, and today we’ve just released our first patch, v0.7.2, which re-adds the missing bug report button and fixes some bugs y’all have uncovered in your time playing. (Note: all players in a multiplayer lobby must be playing the same version of the game as each other!)

The Prospects section contains things we are planning to include in future updates, with your votes helping us figure out what to prioritize. The Wishlist section contains stuff we would like to add, but aren’t certain if we can; votes in the Wishlist section help us figure out if there’s enough community interest to make an idea worth attempting, but we still make no guarantees it will work out. We want to incorporate community feedback throughout this game’s development, and we really value all of your input. And speaking of the community...
Thank you!!!
SimplePlanes 2 has been the best PC launch we’ve ever had, reaching 1063 peak concurrent players on Steam this past Saturday, breaking the record of 885 concurrent players that the original SimplePlanes set 10 whole years ago. We really can’t thank you all enough for playing and enjoying SP2. We’ve poured our hearts into it for years, and it’s been so amazing seeing that work pay off in such a fantastic way. This is only the beginning of our early access journey, and we can’t wait to discover what the future holds with you all <3
