Schedule I developer Tyler has released the 0.3.4 update for all players after a brief testing period, confirming via Steam patch notes what’s new in the viral smash drug dealer simulator.
V0.3.4 is the first major content update for Schedule I, which launched to explosive success on Steam in early access form on March 24. It includes a functional pawn shop, boutique store, wall decorations, and more detailed below.
In a post on Steam, Tyler apologized for the delay in releasing the update, saying: “I’m still ironing out the update/testing process.”
He continued: “Things will be running a lot smoother (and on time) when I do larger monthly updates (starting next month).”
As for what’s coming next, Tyler said is focused on sorting out remaining bugs, listing them as top priorities:
- Making sure employees are working consistently and without issue.
- Preventing save games getting corrupted/disappearing. I’ve met with some folks at Valve and got some great insight into how I can improve the save file format so that it plays a bit nicer with Steam Cloud saves, as well as being less prone to corruption.
- Minimizing disconnections and loading issues in multiplayer.
Tyler added that he’s looking to improve optimization and get Schedule I Steam Deck verified as soon as possible, “so that’ll act as my performance benchmark.”

Schedule I was the top-selling game on Steam upon launch, with more players than big hitters such as Monster Hunter Wilds, GTA 5, and Marvel Rivals after going viral across social media, Twitch, and YouTube. In the game you go from being a small-time dope pusher to kingpin, manufacturing and distributing a range of drugs throughout the grungy city of Hyland Point. You can expand your empire with properties, businesses, employees, and more.
It’s developed and published by TVGS, aka Australian indie developer Tyler, who has called Schedule I’s explosive launch “amazing but pretty overwhelming.”
“I never expected this kind of response!” Tyler said in a post on reddit. “At the moment I’m just trying to stay focussed and get patches out ASAP. Also looking forward to getting started on content updates as soon as all major bugs are patched.”
