Release 1.20
Gameplay
We have already two new projects in development on Unreal Engine 5. In order to bring you the best possible quality we are continually doing reinvestment of acquired funds into our development. We have built our own mo-cap studio, own cloud infrastructure, team growth significantly (we are not indie anymore) and much more. We can't wait to show you more in Q1 of 2023 :)

Hello, everyone! steamhappy
Version 1.20 is now publicly available after more than a year of hard work since the release of the 1.0 update. Big thank you to all of our customers as well as people who were testing the new version of our game. You are our heroes!
The update brings a lot of changes to the game, hundreds of fixed bugs and issues as well as some upgrades. If we were to list every single thing, the list would be way too long.
Here is at least selection of the main changes in this new update.
Multiplatform support
Starting today the game is also available on Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck. Xbox and Playstation versions are awaiting final certification from platform holders.

Networking and crossplay
- Cross-platform play support (Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PS4 / PS5, Switch)
- A number of synchronization issues fixed - fire barrels burning out too fast for clients, issues with player-to-player trading and more
- Overall connection / disconnection stabilization (more robust system for handling unexpected situations - Internet failure, speed drop, etc.)
- Possibility to kick, mute, and report other players
- Steam backend replaced with Epic Online Services
Gameplay
- Complete redesign of the player and camera control (fixed issues with stuttering, smooth movement without lagging, correction of screen tearing and many other problems related to camera and movement)
- Complete rework of the save system to make it more stable and reliable
- Fixed the Ritual of the Last Boozing and improved the overall function of this mechanic
- Fixed the disappearing interaction icons
- Fixes in the combat system (disappearing options, incorrect collision detection)
- Redesigned input system allowing for more unrestricted key rebinds
- Improved controls during dumpster diving
- Notification system improved
- Fixed hundreds of smaller bugs reported by the community (in quests, conversations, UI)
- Some slight balancing changes, most notably increased spawn rates of some harder-to-obtain items, and small adjustments to help wean some hobos off of caffeine ;)
- Overall reduction of game requirements
- Asynchronous GI (Global Illumination) and environment streaming (RAM savings)
- Asynchronous NPC streaming (RAM savings) and redesign of NPC internal operation (CPU load reduced on average by 60 %)
- Faster loading (especially on devices with HDDs)
- Faster generation and rendering of dynamic reflections
- Change of the default FOV from 60 to 75
- Fixes of various graphic bugs (glitched props, holes in models, artifacts)
- Fixed LOD dependence on FOV (render distance no longer decreases with higher FOV)
- Redesign of HLOD switching system (hierarchical LOD, high-poly -> low poly), which results in faster rendering and less noticeable pop-in
- Hundreds of micro-optimizations in the code, removing remnants of the early access code.
- Fixed overlapping of texts and other visual issues with text
- Fixes and additions in English, Chinese, German, Russian and Polish translations
- Added new translations into Japanese, Spanish, and French.

Hobo: Tough Life Linux [6.2 G]
Welcome to Praslav, a cold Central European city that grows even colder with the coming winter. Praslav is recovering from the political turmoil that followed the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Communist regime, which held the country in its iron grip for decades.
While most people eagerly awaited the coming of democracy and capitalism, some were unable to adapt to the new socio-economic climate. Soon they found themselves on the streets with nowhere to go.
You are one of those people.

Keep an eye on your needs and other variables, which interact in realistic ways - staying warm, dry, and well-fed are not your only concerns. Poor hygiene and dirty clothes make you smellier, low temperature increases the risk of falling ill, and whatever piece of food comes in must also come out at some point.
![]()
How far are you willing to go to survive? Steal, burgle, and consort with criminals of all sorts. If necessary, take what you need by force. However, you are not an action hero. Consider your actions carefully, for the consequences are often severe, and benefits rarely outweigh the risks. Most importantly, keep your wits about you. Even if you are not willing to hurt people for personal gain, others are.

Spend the last few days of autumn wisely – gather supplies, equipment, and materials to help you survive the most difficult of seasons. Weather is unpredictable, but there is one certainty - every day is colder than the last. With a lot of preparation and a bit of luck, you might even see the spring again.

Unlike other survival games, Hobo: Tough Life leans heavily on its story content. Experience dozens of storylines inspired by real-life events and people. Solve quests, meet unique NPCs, gain their trust, make allies and enemies, join various factions, and find your place in the streets of Praslav.

Maybe there is no warm apartment waiting for you at the end of the day, but you do not have to keep sleeping on park benches either. Find a suitable place and get to work. Construct walls and roofs to shield you from the elements. Gather discarded furniture and curios to furnish your hideout and make it truly your own.
![]()
Is surviving on your own too difficult? Get the gang together. The game supports online co-op multiplayer for up to 4 players. Play alone, together with your friends, or even with total strangers. Team up, collect resources, build a shanty town, survive the winter.

For over a decade, no one has been able to bring the many factions of the homeless together. The throne of the Homeless King has been sitting empty for far too long. Who will earn enough respect and prove themselves worthy of uniting the homeless? Will you rise to the occasion?
