Updates

Introduction

Updates is where we track every WheelMates patch, devlog, and major announcement. Firevolt ships weekly Devlogs through the official Discord, and patch notes go live on Steam after each major update. The articles below collect the most important announcements — release date changes, demo availability, Friend's Pass confirmation — and the small fixes that often slip past the front-page news. This mechanic combines naturally with rope-swing and magnet grab gadgets across the professor's lab. Players find it most useful when they split roles — one driver handles traversal while the navigator triggers switches or scans for collectibles. Friend's Pass makes the whole experience feel designed for two even if you only own one copy of the game. Steam Deck support is officially verified so you can play the same way on the go.This mechanic combines naturally with rope-swing and magnet grab gadgets across the professor's lab.

Core Mechanics

Updates are not a game mechanic — they're an external news feed for the WheelMates community. Each article in this category covers one announcement: a devlog, a patch, a community event, or a roadmap update. The articles are tagged with their source (Steam news, Discord Devlog, official Twitter) and date, so you can sort by recency or by source.

Advantages

Following the updates feed is the only way to catch the small fixes that don't make front-page Steam news. Recent examples include a camera control fix, a keybinding patch for single-keyboard two-player, and a save-state stability fix. Firevolt also announces upcoming features in the devlogs weeks before they ship, so if you want to plan around new mechanics (e.g. a rumored magnet-grab upgrade), the updates feed is where you'll see it first.

Challenges

Updates doesn't add content to the game itself — it's a news feed. If you're looking for new chapters, new gadgets, or new collectibles, you'll need to wait for the actual game patches, not the updates feed. The Discord Devlogs also tend to be more detailed than the Steam news posts, so following both gives you the most complete picture.
