Deck Conn Updates Hub
Launch day, patches, and the notes that should change your power plan.
Deck Conn went live on Steam on September 1, 2026. This hub is the timeline. The first long note is Launch Notes. The Steam diary that shipped with 1.0 is Burst Transmissions. Come back whenever a build could invalidate a tier list or a power doctrine.
Why an updates hub exists on day two
Launch-week wikis rot when they pretend the 1.0 feature list is eternal. Funtime Electrics already described a long iteration history in the Steam news post that accompanied release. Expect patches. Expect the English-only store page to gain a language or a Deck verification later — or not. Until it is written on Steam, it is a rumor.
When you see a patch:
- Read the official notes on Steam (link from the links hub).
- Skim this hub and the launch page for what we have already logged.
- Re-run one standalone scenario from Combat before you restamp crew promotions.
- Revisit the systems tier list if buses, costs, or sensors changed.
- Only then take a campaign patrol with the old ego.
What counts as an update on this wiki
- Steam client builds and official news posts.
- Language, platform, or Steam Deck verification changes on the store.
- Price or intro-offer windows that affect buyers reading the review.
- Feature list changes that touch capture, power, or patrols.
What does not count:
- Datamine screenshots without a public note.
- “I heard” Discord balance claims.
- Invented roadmaps.

How to read a Steam news post
Funtime Electrics’ launch-day post talked about iteration as much as features. Future notes may be short. Translate them into wiki jobs: if sensors change, update Combat and the systems tier list. If capture language changes, update Capture or Destroy. If a language row appears on Steam, say so here and stop telling French readers the client is English-only. If a Deck verification appears, update system requirements. Do not rewrite the campaign walkthrough because a news post used the word “endless” again. That word was already on the box.
