Hello Survivors!
Our BackerKit campaign for Railbreak VR & Tailbreak is coming to an end at 11:59pm ET on February 29! That means time is running out for us to meet additional stretch goals and for you to get all kinds of goodies!
If we make it to $12,500 in total raised funds, we'll be adding an in-game developer commentary track DLC in additional to an extra story chapter for the Tailbreak DLC expansion! Then, at $15,000, we will be able to release Railbreak VR & the Tailbreak DLC for Meta Quest 3!
If you choose to support Railbreak VR & Tailbreak on BackerKit, you'll be able to preorder exactly what you want with an early bird discount! That means you can get Railbreak VR & Tailbreak for below their final MSRP!

Railbreak Patch 3 is now available on Steam!
Hey Survivors,
Our latest patch for Railbreak is now live on Steam! This patch brings some meaty graphical enhancements to the game, and brings the title up to the 12GB size that was advertised on the store page since launch. If you encounter any instability, just reduce the Texture Quality setting in the Video Settings menu as that area received the biggest upgrade across the game.
Patch 3
- Significant graphics improvements across the entire game. Hard drive space usage increased, however run-time RAM usage only appears slightly higher in-game as per our testing. This change does not affect the game's framerate.
- Fixed an issue where the Sinden Lightgun Border would disappear on the Game Over screen.
Railbreak Patch 2 is now available on Steam!
Hey Survivors!
Good news! A few more glitches have been patched in the world of Railbreak on Steam! These patches are rolling out to all other platforms today as well!
Here's what we did, and don't forget to check the "Update Notes" button on the title screen for this complete list too! We have plenty more updates coming in the weeks ahead!
Patch 2
- Added a "Compile Shaders" button to the Settings menu.
- Added the Update Notes screen.
- High scores now properly save in all parts of the game.
- Added an option in Audio Settings to allow you to set the character's voice volume level independently.
- Fixed numerous infrequent softlocks on Acts 2, 4, 5, and 6.
- Added an option in Game Settings to allow you to specify additional wait time before moving to another area to make it easier to collect items.
- Added an option to the Screen Filter Override in the Game Settings menu called "Never Switch", which will ensure no game overlays ever appear on screen.
- Added an option to the Game Settings to specify larger bounding boxes on item pickups. This can only be set at the Main Menu.
- Items can now only be picked up if they're visible to the player, and cannot be collected through walls or other surfaces anymore.
- Improvements to eliminate a very infrequent situation where being grabbed by a zombie would remove your gun.
- Additional performance improvements across the title.
- Item highlights now appear at greater range.
