Drug Dealer Simulator Schedule I continues to captivate players on Steam, maintaining its status as one of the platform's most-played games. The game has just received its first significant post-launch update, version 0.3.4, with detailed patch notes shared by its developer, Tyler, on the game's Steam page. This update is currently available for testing on the beta branch and is slated for a full release after a brief testing period.
Tyler mentioned that while the beta version does not include all the features planned for the full release, it introduces several new elements for players to try out. "This beta doesn't quite contain 100% of the features coming in the full release," Tyler explained. "I'll be adding a few more decorative objects tomorrow [April 8]. I wanted to get this beta out ASAP so that the new wall-mounted objects and pawn shop interface can be thoroughly trialed."

Upon its launch, Schedule I quickly became the top-selling game on Steam, outpacing major titles like Monster Hunter Wilds, GTA 5, and Marvel Rivals, thanks to its viral spread across social media, Twitch, and YouTube. In the game, players start as small-time drug dealers and work their way up to becoming kingpins, managing the manufacture and distribution of various drugs in the gritty city of Hyland Point. Expansion of the empire includes acquiring properties, businesses, and hiring employees.
Developed and published by the Australian indie developer TVGS, known as Tyler, he described the game's explosive launch as "amazing but pretty overwhelming." Tyler expressed his surprise at the response in a Reddit post, stating, "I never expected this kind of response! At the moment I’m just trying to stay focused and get patches out ASAP. Also looking forward to getting started on content updates as soon as all major bugs are patched."
