Hello there, our amazing Istanbul community! You can now update the game to version 1.2.0 and enjoy the fresh features and changes!

Gamepad control settings and Steam Deck support!

You asked, we delivered! Istanbul: Digital Edition now features full gamepad support, meaning you can comfortably play the game from your couch, your desk, or even on the go. Even better, the game is now fully playable on Steam Deck, with a tailored control scheme and interface adjustments. Weve done some tuning under the hood to make sure controls feel snappy and intuitive no matter how you play.

With Steam Cloud integration now live, your game saves sync automatically across all your devices. No need to worry about switching between your main PC and Steam Deck or losing progress. Just pick up right where you left off, and continue your journey to collect those Rubies!

Weve added Istanbul Community Items, which means you can now collect and trade cards, unlock exclusive Profile Backgrounds, and express yourself with new Emoticons.
