The game is not out yet, so there are no patch notes. What exists is a short, clear release campaign: an August announcement, a free demo for Steam Next Fest, a PC date in October and a PS5 date in November. Every entry below links to the official source.

Free demo arrives for Steam Next Fest

A free demo covering the opening section of Von Neumann Outpost became available on PC via Steam during Steam Next Fest. The official post framed it as a chance to explore the station, search for supplies and face its creatures before release. The full game was still slated for later in the year.

DERELIKT announced

Hyperstrange introduced DERELIKT as a narrative retro FPS set around Saturn. The announcement established Von Neumann Outpost, the PS1-style renderer, the single-player structure, resource scarcity, the glyph-themed presentation and the over-a-dozen NPC cast. A release window of later in 2026 was given.

Development begins

Philipp Jensen’s PlayStation.Blog post states that DERELIKT has been in development in some form since late 2021. The project began as a study of the PS1 look before growing into a full narrative FPS.

What changed in the latest update

The PS5 confirmation is genuinely new: at the October PC announcement, console dates were still being described as later, without a specific day. The PlayStation.Blog now says the PS5 version arrives on the same day as PC. It also adds the 10% PS5 pre-order discount and more story context about Excavation Team Delta and the mysterious drone.

It does not announce an Xbox date. The Xbox Store page remains live but undated in the content reviewed.

This is a press timeline, not patch notes

Patch notes describe changes to a released build. DERELIKT has not released yet, so the entries above are announcements, demo availability and platform decisions. Once the game launches and updates exist, they will be logged separately with version numbers and affected systems.
