Schedule 1 won’t be out of Early Access anytime soon but there’s a good reason

Schedule 1’s sole dev has suggested the full release of the game is still years out, but he’s teased new content additions that will be added soon to keep fans happy.

The success of Schedule 1 has felt like a breath of fresh air to many. In a period where triple-A titles often dominate the Steam charts, the indie game managed to amass amassiveplayer countand quickly became one of the most played games, even when it’s still in early access. A remarkable feat for a project with just one developer behind it.

Schedule 1 still has a long way to go

According to Tyler, during a live stream on Twitch on June 11, 2025, the “final release” of the game is “two to three years away.” He mentioned that due to frequent meetings of late, progress of the game’s development has been slower than expected.

So, this does mean that the game won’t be leaving early access anytime soon, but given the fact that he’s a solo dev and that there are already many things planned to be added to the game, it’s certainly fair.

Included among these is a map expansion that a lot of players have been waiting for. Tyler teased adding a “slum area” near the docks and a “fancy area” upon the hills. Either way, there’s plenty to be excited about.
