Schedule 1 has launched its highly anticipated Shrooms update, adding a new level of depth to the popular indie game. This update has been in development for a while, and solo developer TVGS (Tyler) has successfully released it in early 2026. While the new ‘shrooms’ feature is the biggest addition, the update also includes several other important improvements.
Schedule 1 was a huge and unexpected success in 2025. Despite being filled with popular indie games like Peak and REPO, what’s truly remarkable is that it was created by a single developer with no prior game releases. Within months, Schedule 1 earned an incredible $125 million and continued to receive updates, keeping players engaged. While it hasn’t maintained the peak player numbers from its initial launch, it still has a strong and dedicated community of tens of thousands. Schedule 1 is still in development and not yet fully released (version 1.0), but this latest update represents significant progress.
The newest update for Schedule 1, called the Shrooms Update, is now available on Steam. Players voted for the addition of shrooms, the game’s first post-launch substance, and developer Tyler has spent the last three months bringing it to life. After a few days in beta testing, the update is now live for everyone. With this update, players can grow and sell mushrooms to customers around Hyland Point, introducing a new substance before the full progression is unlocked. It includes lots of new equipment, tools, and tasks, offering a fresh experience for players after nine months of gameplay.
The newest update introduces a temperature system in Schedule 1. Players can now use air conditioners to control the temperature of different areas, which is important for growing mushrooms and speeding up the growth of other Schedule 1 plants. The update also adds new characters and customers, and a starting quest to help players understand how the new substance works within the game.
The recent update includes several small improvements beyond just the new mushrooms. Players can now rename stations, pots, and storage racks with the management clipboard, making it simpler to organize large bases. Cartel dealers, introduced in a previous update, now take breaks, making them easier to locate and surprise. Cleaners are also more effective, as they can now manage up to six trash cans. And for a bit of festive fun, dealers are currently wearing Santa hats – though this is likely temporary.
Now that the Shrooms Update is out, Tyler is taking ten days off for the holidays and plans to be back at work in early January. He hinted at some exciting announcements when he returns, potentially bringing cool new content from Schedule 1 to kick off 2026. The next big update will likely be decided by another community vote through Schedule 1. In the previous vote, ideas like hireable drivers and fishing weren’t chosen over mushrooms, so it’s unclear if those options will be considered again.
