POLYARIS Open Demo Update #14

POLYARIS Demo · published 9 Jun 2026, 21:20 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

[ BUGS ]

  • Fixed a bug where 'Steamdeck' optimal video settings preset enables FSR Frame Generation which causes bad performance. Currently, we don't recommend enabling FSR Frame Generation from video settings in the demo.

[ IMPROVEMENTS ]

  • Added more props and furniture to structures on the main island for better interiors.

  • Added visible slot cell outlines for inventories for better item and UI visibility.

[ BALANCING ]

  • All drinks now restore slightly more hydration than before; food and medical items don't reduce hydration as much as before - a balancing for more immersive survival experience after receiving feedback from players.
