Developer Tyler has unveiled the much-anticipated 0.3.4 update for Schedule I, the viral hit drug dealer simulator, after a short testing phase. The update, detailed in the Steam patch notes, marks the first major content addition since the game's explosive early access launch on Steam on March 24.

The 0.3.4 update introduces a plethora of new features, including a functional pawn shop, a boutique store, various wall decorations, and more. In a Steam post, Tyler apologized for the delay in rolling out the update, explaining, "I'm still ironing out the update/testing process."

Schedule I soared to the top of Steam's sales charts upon its launch, outpacing big 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 dealers in the gritty city of Hyland Point and work their way up to becoming drug kingpins, managing the manufacture and distribution of various substances. Players can expand their empire through property acquisition, business management, and hiring employees.

Developed and published by the Australian indie developer Tyler under the banner TVGS, Schedule I's launch was described by Tyler as "amazing but pretty overwhelming." In a reddit post, Tyler expressed his surprise at the game's reception, 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."
