We're very grateful to you all for playing Content Warning, even if there haven't been many updates since launch! 🙏 It's been great seeing the mods come in from the mod support update last year! Thank you to all the modders for making such cool stuff for the community ❤️
We just updated the game with a bunch of achievements, lobby codes and fixes/improvements/optimisations! Read more below:

Optimizations
Higher overall FPS
Optimised Surface considerably
Optimised the top of the Factory level
Build size about 400MB smaller

Faster loading times
Even though we did an update today, we want to manage expectations going forward regarding the future:
Content Warning is not a live-service or early access game, which means that we can't promise updates with more content. The game contains what it says on the Steam store, and any additional updates are a bonus.
The CW team is made up of 5 developers, all of whom have been working non-stop on several projects for the last couple of years.
We've explained a bit why there haven't been many updates here, but for those of you who missed it: the CW team took a break from a longer project called HASTE to make Content Warning. Once CW was more stable after its launch, they had promised to come back to HASTE to finish it together with that team, which they did. After that the CW team have all been working on different projects, and at the moment, there are no plans to return to CW. If this changes, we will let you all know!
Finding players:
If you’re having issues finding other players, we recommend checking out the CW Discord, where you can find others to play with!
Ports:
We’re working with a porting studio to get the game onto other platforms, so we hope to have more news about that soon! They're also the ones who've worked to make this patch possible, as the original CW developers are busy with other projects.
Re the video extraction issues:
In the last couple of patches, we, with your help, solved several issues that led to videos failing to extract. We want to thank everyone who sent in logs and other information to help us fix as many of these bugs as possible. In this latest patch, we also did some fixes that may help.
There are sadly a million things that can lead to extraction issues for the videos, some of which we have no control over on our end (like one teammate having a weird file structure on their computer), but we have done our best to fix the most common ones. If you are still having issues, please check out our troubleshooting page.
Support:
You can find help in our Content Warning FAQ for the most common issues. If you still need help, you can also reach out to [email protected] for troubleshooting or to ask questions about the game.
