Dear citizens of the Suzerainverse,
The excitement has been building, and we’re thrilled to announce that open community testing for the 3.1 “Sovereign” Update is now officially live! For the first time, we’re inviting everyone to test the upcoming PC version alongside the Mobile version. This marks a major milestone for us, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring you into the process earlier than ever before.
⚠️ Important:
This is your chance to get an early look at what’s coming, but keep in mind that this is not the final product. The open test build is still in development, which means bugs, balance issues, and missing content are expected. If you're looking for a flawless, polished experience, we recommend waiting for the full release. But if you want to be part of shaping the future of the game, your input will be invaluable as we fine-tune and polish based on your feedback.
Downloading this build will overwrite your existing saves. Please proceed only if you're comfortable with that! This means that while you're playing on the testing branch, you will NOT be able to access any existing saves. To keep playing old saves, you'll need to revert back to the main game branch.
Here’s how to access the build:
Steam:
- Go to the Steam Library
- Right Click on Suzerain, select "Properties"
- Select "Beta"

Bug report channel
Follow the reporting guidelines and provide comprehensive details, including reproduction steps, screenshots or videos, save files, and log files.
Note: We prioritize reports from Discord due to its integration with our internal tracking system. Reports from platforms like Reddit, Steam, or Forums might not receive immediate attention.
3. Rizia Update Availability on Switch
The team is currently prioritizing post-launch support for 3.1 on PC and Mobile. Stay tuned for updates for Nintendo Switch.
4. Issues with Save Loss and Steam Cloud
To prevent save file corruption, we strongly advise against save file editing.
If you're experiencing issues with disappearing saves, we recommend disabling the Steam Cloud feature for Suzerain temporarily, as we're currently addressing some rare conflicts with it.
