- SWAT Commander v.0.7.9.6 - The Elite Society Update - 31 July 2026
🚨 Officers, The Early Access version of SWAT Commander has received a major update today, bringing a brand new mission to our EA players - The Elite Society! Check it out right here on Steam: New Mission - The Elite SocietyBehind rusted gates and overgrown grounds, a crumbling old residence has stood quiet for years, or so the neighborhood believed. The once-grand estate has been serving as the meeting place of a self-styled "elite society": a circle of privileged individuals convinced that wealth and connections place them above the law. Soon, a large-scale police investigation reveals that this group's gatherings serve as little more than a cover-up for their benefactors' crossing from private indulgence into serious criminal activity.Tonight, their exclusive club receives its least welcome guests yet. Membership has its privileges, but immunity from a SWAT intervention isn't one of…

- SWAT Commander v.0.7.9.4 — Magazines - 25 May 2026
🚨 Officers,The current version of our game is now 0.7.9.4, and the update allows you to customize the balance of primary and secondary magazines your squad brings on your missions.Many of you have been reporting the issue of running out of ammo in the game's bigger missions, and since it's also a matter that's been heatedly called to attention in recent discussions, we're addressing it with the following solution - from now on you can determine the ratio of primary and secondary weapon ammo magazines your operatives will be bringing with them on a mission.We see this is as a balanced compromise between the overpowered step of just adding more magazines and maintaining the status quo - you get to choose to have more magazines for either of the weapons you prefer to rely on, thus increasing the amount of ammunition at your disposal.INSTRUCTIONS 👇In order to access the feature, go into t…
- Perps Push Their Luck - 15 May 2026
🚨 Officers,Tell me, would you describe yourselves as risk-takers? Because soon, big risks you may just have to take. That is, once your SWAT squad is summoned to deploy to a certain seedy gambling den. In "Highest Stakes," one of SWAT Commander's upcoming missions, you'll be required to carry out a raid at a shady gambling den. The discovery of such a highly illegal enterprise already warrants police intervention, but what makes this situation even juicier is that the big boss of the ring, together with his right-hand man, are scheduled to make a personal appearance on site, possibly to admire their latest "handiwork."Fig. 1 - Bar area located within the premises of the illegal gambling establishmentAccording to ongoing investigation, all the extortion, money laundering, harassment, and intimidation tactics these bastards are alleged to be involved in makes their arrest the biggest win…
- SWAT Commander v.0.7.9.3 — Subtitles - 27 April 2026

Very often, knowing what a character is saying is the factor on which the end result of an entire situation rests - knowing that an individual is no longer hostile, hearing the callout of your fellow officer in co-op, and so on.SWAT Commander EA v.0.7.9.3 Patch Notes - SubtitlesUI Added subtitles with customizable accessibility options, including size and backgroundSubtitles are now fully translated into all 17 supported languagesBUG FIXES Fixed an issue where the host co…

- SWAT Commander v.0.7.9.1 — The Blue Holster Update - 27 February 2026
🚨 Officers,A major update today with a brand new mission brings SWAT Commander to version 0.7.9.1!New Mission — The Blue HolsterA den of ill repute by any measure, the downtown nightclub known as "The Blue Holster" has crossed the tenuous line that finally rendered it into a full-blown crime scene. Rampant, violent drug trade is by all means unacceptable to law enforcement, so a serious incident taking place this fateful evening and involving the dubious establishment along with a local criminal underground demands for a SWAT intervention.A two-storey dance floor area, balconies, facilities private rooms, as well as a number of storage and utility rooms will provide more than a sufficient challenge for the SWAT squad and their objective to bring in notorious drug dealers. Loud music, huge crowd, and colorful illumination are bound to give the mission conditions an extra edge, so be sur…
- SWAT Commander v.0.7.9.0 — Public Lobbies & AI Update - 20 February 2026
🚨 Officers,Today we're bringing another update in the course of SWAT Commander's Early Access development, and that makes the current version of the game 0.7.9.0.Co-op CommandsIntended as a measure of convenience is the new co-op command feature. They're an alternative to using voice chat and potentially a more effective way of letting your squadmates know what you want to accomplish in the team's next steps. Basically, the same way it's done in singleplayer mode with AI-controlled SWAT officers under your command.Chatter is often distracting. So what if you want your heavy support opperative to C2 a particular door and just telling them isn't the way to go for whatever reason? Well, you just mark it with the C2 command and presto — a persistent visual cue supports what you said in voice and if all goes well, the squad is rewarded with a well-earned 'kaboom'.Item 1 — Now you can issue…

The update comes with a discount, giving you the temporary chance to snag our game for a bargain!New Window CommandThis time, in an effort to reinforce our officers' tactical repertoire, we're introducing a new command that should make building entries easier by allowing you to issue a command to throw grenades through first-floor windows. This is configured for all of our current and future missions.Remember to adjust your choice of grenade to how quickly you can make an entry and that tossing grenades through windows outside of commands is a viable approach in co-op and for yourself as the squad commander in single player, too.Our other changes in this patch tweak gameplay to make some tool use faster, give you the option to switch firing modes on handguns while using the Ballistic Shiel…
