- HumanitZ Experimental 1.1 Update - Out Now - 27 August 2026
Survivors! It has been a fast 6 months since 1.0! We are here to deliver to you all an Experimental version of what we have been working on this entire time, for full launch implementation with the Spooky Update which is also fast approaching. The goal for this Experimental Update is to capture all of your feedback to the below mentioned areas and allow us to tweak, add, or remove for the full version. Our Private Testing Group has been instrumental in getting the initial feedback, quality assurance, and ideas to bring our vision to life and for you all to enjoy in a much more stable environment. This isn’t to say you won’t incur some bugs here and there to be identified, but to play with the new features and be a part of the process on a much larger scale. This will also afford us more time to work on some long-standing issues, or add in some functions we may not have thought of, again…

- HumanitZ Update 1.05 - 4 June 2026
Hey Survivors!We’ve just pushed a small hotfix focused mainly on addressing server disconnects when driving, along with the save-file data buildup that was contributing to server instability. A huge shoutout to Piiruca, owner of the Wasteland Survival server, and MaKY, owner of the El Refugio server, for helping identify and report key details around this issue. Our community continues to be a massive force multiplier for HumanitZ, and we’re incredibly grateful for the love, patience, and dedication you continue to show the game.A community that survives together, thrives together! We also want to quickly readdress our previous comments around aiming for faster update cycles. We mentioned that we would do our best to work toward a roughly two-week update pace where possible, but with our current focus on fixes, improvements, QA, and new content, that turnaround is not always realistic o…

HZ Patch Notes 1.04 Hey Survivors, Another *cough* two weeks *cough*, another patch! As we mentioned last update, this patch is primarily focused on bug fixes. This is not the entire list of reported things on our docket as of now, but some high-target quick fixes we could get out in a timely fashion. Rest assured, we have everything tracked and are still pursuing them with aggression. We have added support for Private Server owners to disable Family Sharing in order to combat the unfortunate community members who willfully try to get around being banned or blacklisted from servers. We apologize for any inconvenience these players have had on your communities. Family Sharing will be on by default, it is up to the server owners to disable it. On Official Servers, Family Sharing will be disabled and everyone will need their own account. Server Owners: Please restart your servers to pull t…

- HumanitZ Update 1.03 - 3 April 2026
Hey, we’re back with another update! This one took a bit longer than we would have liked in-line with our stated bi-weekly updates due to some major performance changes we’ve made. which is why things have taken longer than expected and ever so slightly set us back with things such as the Road Map, new content, more QoL features being added. Rest assured, those things are still coming. But for now, let’s get into what we’ve been working on these past few weeks. Our first major point is that Steam Deck is now ‘stable’ and can be run on MEDIUM-HIGH settings. This is the first phase of getting the full official Steam Deck release solidified, so huge shoutout to the Steam Deck users providing that feedback and assistance! Getting into the finer details and technical insight into one of the biggest challenges, we’ve moved the game from hard references to soft references. What does that mean?…
- HumanitZ 1.03 – Major Performance Update Drops Thursday - 30 March 2026
Dear Survivors, We wanted to give you a quick update on the 1.03 patch. As mentioned previously, this update has taken longer than our usual two week cadence due to the scale of the changes we’ve made. We made the call to delay it because it represents a major step forward in performance and overall stability, and we wanted to make sure it was done properly. The 1.03 update is now planned to drop this Thursday, 2nd April. A lot of the issues identified since 1.0 tied back to the addition of the EOS system as part of our future plans. This meant we had to rework and rebuild parts of the game, which is why development has taken longer than expected. To give you some insight into what’s coming with 1.03:Steam Deck improvements, making the game far more playable even on higher settings, bringing us closer to full support, which we are still actively working towards.We’ve moved the game from…
- HumanitZ Update News - 12 March 2026
Hey Survivors, Up front, this week's update will be delayed slightly. We're working on some additional performance enhancements which are taking longer than usual to get through final validation and ensuring it doesn't affect any pre-existing systems. Additionally, a couple of us have come down with some seasonal sicknesses and that's set us back a few days on our end, so just wanted to give you all a heads up before we head into the weekend and not to keep you waiting for what should be coming. We will do our best to get it out to you sometime next week if all goes well. We'll kick out another notification when we go live with the next update. Thank you for your understanding and support,Yoz
