First of all: thank you for all the support we’ve received this week! We worked so hard for three years and seeing the fruit of our labor now out in the wild is such a dream come true.

You’ve all been a fundamental part of the success of our game by helping us achieve these goals:

  • 780 reviews (overwhelmingly positive)

  • Having more than 245’000 outstanding wishlists

  • 1500+ discord members

  • 1000+ all time concurrent players

Community Love

We also wanted to take the time to highlight the work the community has done this past week. From fan-art, to reviews, to speedruns, and videos. You guys have showered us with love these past 7 days and it's hard to put into words how grateful we are.Shout out to:

More Language Support
We're currently looking into additional translations for Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, French, Japanese, and Polish. While we can't make any promises just yet, we know many of you have been asking for more language options, and we're investigating what we can make happen.

Desktop Explorer Merch
We've also started exploring the possibility of creating Desktop Explorer merchandise! It's still early days, but we'd love to bring some of the game's world into the real world. We'll share more details as soon as we have something concrete to announce.


Accessibility Improvements
We're also working on improving accessibility options for Desktop Explorer. We want as many players as possible to be able to enjoy the game comfortably, and we're currently exploring improvements that can make the experience more accessible.

Official Soundtrack
We're working on making the Desktop Explorer soundtrack available. We know many of you have been asking about it, and we'll let you know the moment it's ready. Any updates will be posted here on Steam and in our Discord server.

Thanks again and see you in our Discord server!
