Hey there Heroes!
Thank you to our Pistol Whip community as we continue the Open Beta phase of Pistol Mix, our official modding tool. Our team has received some truly fantastic feedback from all of you heroes, and we are hard at work on tailoring the tool to better match the feedback we are receiving.
To make sure these changes are polished, our team has made the decision to adjust the launch date for the tool to June 14th, 2023. This will allow our developers to make adjustments and craft an even better version of Pistol Mix for modders and players alike, thanks to all the wonderful suggestions we have received from all of you.
For those of you looking forward to creating or playing modded content on May 31st, have no fear! The Open Beta is still ongoing, and you can dive into the action today to help us as we continue to shape the tool at https://pistolwhip.gg/.

That’s not all! We’ve also introduced a new unlocking and pop-up system to ease new Action Heroes into the Pistolverse.

Show some love for Pistol Whip, our Labor of Love, at the 2022 Steam Awards
So what exactly does “regular content” mean anyway? Well, the first iteration of Pistol Whip hit stores on November 7 2019, and since then, there have been 12 major updates to add new Scenes and blood-pumping beats, new weapons and game modes, features and cosmetic changes, and two awesome campaigns.
For three years, Pistol Whip has been the vessel for players to become the star of their own action-movie, blasting through cyberpunk cities, alien attacks, robot revenge, the wild wild west, and so much more.
Just like the game we make, our team is unstoppable, so get ready to boot up those headsets soon. Over the course of the next year we’ll be throwing new stuff at you left and right. Pistol Whip is an experience we continue to nurture and support because so many of you love it, and we really love it too. Think you can show that love by voting for us?
