Rumors of Risk of Rain Returns’ death have been greatly exaggerated as we’ve just released an update! This patch includes improvements and optimisations tailored specifically for the Steam Deck. We've also added some long overdue updates, including...
An “experimental” option to allow more than 4 players in multiplayer.
A ping and emote system to improve communication during multiplayer.
The multiplayer host can now prevent players from picking the hidden Survivor.
The hidden Survivor's "Judgement" skin is now unlockable
Added a tiny bit of new item content, including a new drone (no spoilers here - jump in and find them!)
If you want to “downpatch” to play the previous 1.0.5 release (the one which has been live on Steam since Jan ‘24) we’ve also made a Beta branch for that too with the following details:
Password: themacrobesdidnothingwrong
Beta Name: 1.0.5 Legacy post-release build
