Concurrent players passed 8,000 with the update, a new record for the title, and a 20 percent discount set a new low Steam price.

Pugstorm and publisher Fireshine Games released the free Core Keeper update Riders of the Underground on September 21, 2026 (Japan time), for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch. The update is version 1.3. Its centerpiece is the Saddle, a new item that turns any livestock animal in the game into a mount. Players can ride those animals, rename them, and set their behavior to stay put, wander, or follow. A new sub-biome, Moss, spreads green growth through stone ruins and is home to Oreks, a reptilian livestock species. The Hookshot lets players cross rifts and gaps. Three pets arrive with different abilities: Pyokohop, described as coming from the sea, grants a slipperiness effect and attacks at range, while Azeos Jr., described as coming from the sky, can stun enemies. New weapons and armor are included, along with adjustments to mage and summoner playstyles.

Evil Raptor and Fireshine Games released the major update 'Frostburn' for the co-op FPS 'Far Far West' on August 27, 2026. The update adds a shield system that blocks damage separately from health, ice magic that can freeze targets, and a new volcanic stage called 'Hellfire.' The shield decreases over time, and ice magic includes spells that freeze allies to grant shields, freeze enemies to increase damage, or damage enemies while shielding allies. Three new melee weapons were introduced: knuckle dusters, a lasso, and a banjo. Knuckle dusters and the lasso handle wide-area attacks, while the banjo heals. Existing melee weapons can now be upgraded and customized. The Hellfire stage features falling volcanic rocks and meteors, plus three new quests. The update also includes lighthouses that reveal points of interest on the map, new jungle quests, and new Jokers and skins. 'Far Far West' is a 1-4 player co-op FPS where players are robot cowboy bounty hunters using firearms and magic. The game surpassed 1 million copies sold within two weeks of its April 28 early access launch and recorded a peak concurrent player count of 47,256.

The Steam version currently holds a 'Very Positive' rating, with 82% of roughly 2,900 reviews positive. A 35% discount sale runs until June 8, dropping the price to 1,495 yen.
