- RIFTSTORM 0.6.3 - Here comes the boom! - 10 September 2026
Changelog 0.6.3Hey everyone,We've got three new weapons and a Launcher rework to push today.Our Launchers have been underused for a while, and the feedback has been pretty consistent that they just weren’t pulling their weight. After digging into it, the problem wasn’t only raw numbers — their explosions also weren’t scaling properly with weapon damage bonuses and buffs, which meant they fell off harder than intended later in the game.Launcher RebalanceLauncher explosions have been reworked so they now scale properly with weapon damage effects and buffs, including bonuses from things like Lythograms.Previously, the projectile itself could benefit from these effects, but the explosion often did not. That made Launchers scale poorly into higher Threat levels.We’ve also increased Launcher damage overall and leaned harder into what we want their identity to be:Very strong explosive damage a…

- Launch Week Feedback Recap & What We're Doing About It - 14 August 2026
Your feedback matters.Hey everyone,We have been reading your discussions, reviews, bug reports, and feedback. A few issues are coming up more often than anything else, so we wanted to share what we are currently working on and our present order of priority.We know that “we hear you” only means something when fixes follow. This is not an exhaustive patch list, and priorities may move if we find something more critical, but this is where the team’s attention is currently going as head into the weekend.1. Severe FPS Drops and Simulation Thread CountWe are working to safely raise the default Simulation Thread Count while investigating the root causes of the performance issue within our multiplayer engine. Until that work is complete, players experiencing extremely low FPS after entering a mission should continue setting Simulation Thread Count to 2 under Options > Settings.We have also impl…

We’re still very much at the beginning of Early Access, and these first hours are already giving us a lot to work with. A lot of this work has been in the pipeline for awhile, but as your input continues to flow in, we wanted to get a first iteration into your hands as quickly as we could rather than wait for everything to be perfect.Solo-Offline BetaVersion 0.6.1 introduces a Solo-Offline Beta mode for players who want to play RIFTSTORM without connecting to the online service.Your save data should be compatible between Online and Solo-Offline play, and you can choose which mode you’d like to use when launching the game.We’re calling this a Beta for now while we continue testing it across a wider range…

- 🚨 RIFTSTORM Is Now Available in Early Access + Roadmap Reveal - 11 August 2026
ATTN: Weavers,RIFTSTORM is now available in Steam Early Access.After nearly five years in development and three massive public playtests, this marks the beginning of the game we will be building alongside all of you: a co-op PvE action game where squads of Weavers deploy into Mythic Protocol operations, fight escalating threats, collect weapons and Lythograms, push their luck, and extract before the mission goes bad.What Is Available at Launch?At launch, you can deploy with five playable Weavers:Rook, our adaptable Protocol generalist.Starling, a sustained-fire Vanguard weapons specialist.Hertz, a Roseguard frontline disruptor built to hold enemy attention.Botsy, a Containment technician who turns the battlefield into a problem for the enemy.Caracal, an Interregnum marksman supported by his Kestrel drone.The Early Access launch build includes our onboarding campaign, the opening PADDOCK…
- RIFTSTORM Demo Coming Offline - 11 August 2026
ATTN: Weavers, With RIFTSTORM launching in just a few hours, we’re taking the Steam Demo offline.The reason is pretty simple: we need to focus the team on the main game build. There are still issues we’re actively working through, and at this point we’d rather put all of our development and QA time into getting fixes, updates, and improvements onto the version of RIFTSTORM everyone will actually be playing at launch.The demo is also an older branch of the game, and we haven’t been able to give some of its remaining issues the attention they deserve. Keeping it online would mean splitting our focus between two increasingly different builds at exactly the moment we need that focus most.Thank you to everyone who played the demo, reported bugs, sent us feedback, and helped us shape RIFTSTORM along the way. A huge amount of what we learned from those sessions has gone directly into the game.…
- Known Performance Issue: Low FPS in Missions Post-Tutorial - 1 August 2026
ATTN: Weavers,We are still investigating a performance issue causing some players to experience extremely low framerates, often around 5-9 FPS, in missions after completing the tutorial.The issue appears to be caused by our multithreading settings not working correctly with some high-core-count CPUs.If you are experiencing this issue, congratulations on your high-end CPU. Unfortunately, RIFTSTORM currently appears to be intimidated by it.While we work on a permanent fix, please use the following workaround:Open OptionsSelect SettingsChange Thread Count to 2This should substantially improve performance for affected players.We apologize for the disruption and will share another update once a permanent fix is ready.Thank you for your patience.
- New RIFTSTORM Demo Out Now - 28 July 2026
ATTN: Weavers,We’ve just rolled out a new update to the RIFTSTORM demo build.This latest demo update features three playable missions, updated graphics, and a new HQ setting that better reflects the tone, structure, and atmosphere we are building toward for Early Access.The new HQ space is an important part of how we want RIFTSTORM to feel between deployments: less like a menu, and more like a larger than life secret underground base in a midst of a containment breach with a built-in guide in the form of our enigmatic PAAM.As always, this demo is still a work-in-progress snapshot of the full RIFSTORM experience. All content, weapon and enemy balance is subject to change and evolution as we continue to develop the game.Welcome back to the Mythic Protocol.

- In or Out? Extracting in RIFTSTORM - 21 July 2026
ATTN: Weavers, Over the last year of production, one of the biggest challenges we tackled was dialling in our mission structure.After watching hours of gameplay and digging through user data, it became pretty clear that some of our lengthier, more linear missions didn’t quite feel right. They had strong moments, but the overall structure could sometimes feel too much like moving from A to B to C, rather than making meaningful decisions inside a dangerous space.At the same time, the player response to Operation 1411’s more open-ended survival-meets-extraction style mission helped cement something for us: RIFTSTORM feels better when players have more agency over how far they want to push, when they want to leave, and what risks they are willing to take along the way.Earlier this year, we integrated extraction mechanics into our mission structure. That meant adding extraction zones to miss…
- RIFTSTORM Demo will be down for major maintenance and updates - 16 July 2026
Dear players,As we count down the days to our Early Access launch, the current version of the RIFTSTORM demo will be temporarily unavailable as we work to reset our servers and upload an updated version.This demo version of RIFTSTORM was uploaded over a year ago and does not reflect the love and attention that we’ve lavished onto the project since. We will be replacing the demo with a condensed experience that features an improved version featuring a new first-time experience, smoother gameplay, new weapons, and a much clearer look at what’s coming in August.We expect the updated demo will be ready in the next few days.Thank you so much for playing, we are excited to show you how far RIFTSTORM has come since 2024.- The RIFTSTORM team
