We’ve been listening and working diligently, and we’re super happy to announce that SPRAWL is now out on Playstation 5, and Xbox Series consoles! Check out the trailer below:
Not only that but we’ve just launched a massive QOL update that fixes numerous bugs, adds some requested community features as well as increasing the amount of languages SPRAWL supports to 10!

Button prompts now display on tutorials and switches across keyboard and controller.
Players now respawn with a minimum of 4 pistol shots to help get back on their feet without relying on melee.
Respawn now includes 4 seconds of invulnerability.
Fixed an issue with hitstun on various enemies.
Addressed enemy navigation issues across levels in the game.
Fixed music looping issues on all race maps.
Resolved an issue with Codex navigation.
Fixed issues with Codex labeling.
Various fixes to all localizations.
Improved setting sliders functionality for gamepad users.
Added additional languages with proper font fallbacks.
And many more!
And if you haven't yet, please give us some love and review the game!
We’ve got a lot more planned in the future, so stay tuned and join our discord for official updates or if you just want to chat with the developers, we’re always around to answer any questions!
P.S. Keep those clips coming on Discord and X/Twitter (@SprawlFPS), and throw in a tag for our publisher (@rogue_co) so they can join the fun too. Cheers! 🙌
ONE YEAR OF SPRAWL! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! WHO WANTS SOME FREE STUFF?
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but it's officially been a year since SPRAWL was released! Since then our community has only grown. The reception to the game has been beyond our wildest dreams with us currently sitting at nearly 1600 reviews, and a very positive review score. We couldn’t have done it without all of you sharing and playing the game. We love games, and we love you all.
So what's next?
Well we’ve got a couple of surprises in store for you for our first birthday, the first of which is a formal announcement. SPRAWL is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and it’s coming very very soon. We’re putting together the finishing touches as we speak, with this release will come a much needed QOL update to the base game with some hotly anticipated community requests. We’ll have more details on this in the coming weeks.
But that's not all!
We went ahead and did something crazy. We’d like to announce SPRAWL 96. Check out the trailer here:
SPRAWL 96 is a celebration of SPRAWL. It’s also our way of giving thanks and giving back to the communities which made SPRAWL possible. SPRAWL would be nothing without the Quake Mapping community, SPRAWL was originally built on Darkplaces, and the resources provided by nearly 30 years of dedicated modders made it possible to get it started. Hannah and myself, Carlos (REVEL), met on the Quake mapping discord, and well, the rest is as you say, history. Here we are 4 years later paying homage to our roots.
So what actually is it? Well it's a revival in a sense of that original Quake engine version of SPRAWL. It answers the question “What if SPRAWL actually existed in 1996?”. So it includes every single SPRAWL weapon (sorta), a big portion of our enemy roster, and our movement mechanics all on a custom fork of the Ironwail Quake source port. It’s a near total conversion gameplay mod focused on vanilla entities setup, so all non-mod specific maps (non-copper, non-ad, non quoth etc) can be played. So long as you own Quake, you can play SPRAWL 96. For the modding community as a whole, we are also allowing you to use any of the assets created for SPRAWL 96 directly in your own non commercial mods. Careful set up has been taken in particular to the enemies models to make them vanilla compatible. Same frame data as vanilla monsters! We’ve also included a texture wad full of textures directly taken from SPRAWL, as well a prefab.map file which includes set ups for most of these assets, again free to use in your own non commercial mods. There are over 400 models, sounds, textures provided! Plenty of which is archival from the 2020 QuakeSprawl version of the game.
So long story short, you got a copy of Quake? You can head over to our discord and download SPRAWL 96 for free right now and get playing.
Since the release of SPRAWL last year, we've added two new game modes, time trials and horde, and alongside them some new music has crept into the game. There's been an overwhelming amount of people asking for it, so I've taken the time to clean these up and get them ready for release. You can grab them exclusively on Bandcamp for the time being. I'll probably keep it this way, but we'll see what happens!
Alongside those songs I've included a whole gamut of scraps that didn't make the final OST, this includes early versions of some songs, as well as tracks I was writing while trying to figure out the general sound and texture for the game.
Oh I can't forget the full extended cut of Ghost Wetware!
So for those of you that have been asking for some more SPRAWL music, we’ve got you covered.
So that's it from us for now, but expect more news in the coming weeks, sorry if we kept you waiting! We had to keep all this under wraps for the time being. There’s a lot more coming from us in the near future, so stay tuned! On a personal note, thank you all so much for all the support. I say this time and time again and it's because I mean it, we’re building something special here and we could not do it without you. I promise as long as I'm here I'm going to bust my ass for every single one of you.
Thank you
- Carlos

1000+ REVIEWS! THANK YOU ALL!
WOW!
We did it everyone, we made it to 1000 reviews, with a very positive rating. We couldn’t have done it without all your support. We talk about this a fair bit, but it really is humbling to see our first game have such a positive reception, and impact as well. Since release we’ve received an overwhelming amount of positive messages from people who just love the world we built, or have told us that playing our game made their week better, or that they love the soundtrack. It keeps us going honestly, we set out with lofty goals for our first title, and we sacrificed a lot. It was just the two of us, myself (Carlos) and Hannah, chatting on Discord and putting in thousands of hours and making some tough decisions to get this game out, seeing this effort rewarded each and every milestone is, well, incredibly humbling.
So from us to you, thank you all so much!
]I’d like all of you to give Hannah some love here, she has put in a tremendous amount of effort over the years to bring this game to fruition. She continues to impress and inspire me to work hard and deserves to hear it.
We’ve got some more stuff planned too, so feel free to continue to leave us feedback, we’re always listening!
Thank you

SPRAWL - CODEX, QOL Update + 50% Off!
Everyone!
We’ve been hard at work bringing some new content, plus some heavily requested features and bug fixes into the game. Game dev for a team of two is tough, but we love you all and wanted to continue to iterate on the game. We read every piece of feedback and although we can’t get everything in at once, we’ve got some cool things to give you this time around. As always, for free, no DLC here!
The QR code logs are now LIVE and in game. You will now be able to view them from inside SPRAWL and have them saved for you to revisit later. With the same not so subtle stylistic reference you get when you view them with your phone. This has been a colossal effort from Hannah to get all 50 lore docs into the game, so some kudos are in order!
Thank you all again for being a part of this incredible community, all the love, support and kindness keeps us going. We couldn’t have built SPRAWL without you all.
We’ve got some more things in store in the future, so keep an eye out for that!
PATCH NOTES:
Added “Codex” into the game. Walking over a PDA with a QR code on it will automatically populate the “Codex” menu. 50 pieces of unique collectable lore are now accessible in game.
Added Time Trial map “TIER 2 MOVEMENT (ADVANCED)”
Added Time Trial map “SLINGSHOT (ADVANCED)”
Added secondary weapons to all time trial maps with shotguns. This should allow for quick swapping movement tricks.
Added option to disable gamepad auto switching
Added option to hide crosshair
Fixed issue with lights not saving their state when hitting checkpoints
Fixed collision issues on E3M2
Updated navigation mesh on E1M2
Fixed issue where prototype enemy would be stuck behind shield wall on E3M2

We did it! Very Positive and 850+ reviews ❤️
Sprawlers,
Do you remember the Thank You update we sent out over a week ago? We blew past 500 reviews and we flew past 750! I can’t believe the response, it’s heartwarming to see and we cannot thank you all enough.
Last night we passed 850 Reviews!!! ːsteamhappyː
We’re getting close to 1000, so if you haven't yet, please get in there and tell us what you think and review!
We’re reading all of them, all the positivity keeps us going, and all of the feedback helps us make the game even better.
We’re really happy to say we’ve also hit a “Very Positive rating” and gained so many new players over the past week! We appreciate this community so much! ːsteamhappyː
We’re taking all the feedback and suggestions into consideration and are making strides to make the game better and better everyday. Don't hesitate to reach out on our Discord Server or the Steam Forums if you’d like to get in touch with us or have suggestions.
Much love for you all,
Revel
A massive "thanks" from all of us behind Sprawl! ❤️
Hey Sprawlers!
Everyone, thank you all so much for your support on our little project. When myself (Carlos) and Hannah started SPRAWL, we had no idea we’d end up here. We’re not a giant studio, or even a small studio, it’s just the two of us trying to put together our first game. It’s been an honor to see all the love and support from the community and fans that have cropped up, the conversations around the game, the setting, the story, seeing people love it. I wanted to take the moment to appreciate all of you for being a part of this journey. We’re still working hard bringing new features and content to the game, we read every message and every review. It’s important to us as we continue to work on this game together with you all. ːsteamhappyː
And if you havent yet, please leave a review! This really helps us! Let's get to 1000!
Before I get into the next part, I want to take the time to give my appreciation to the speedrunning community and Games Done Quick, as well as Humble Bundle for allowing us to participate in this year's AGDQ with BloodThunder running SPRAWL, and beating it in 23 minutes! My family has been deeply affected by cancer, taking many people close to us, having the opportunity to give back in some capacity to cancer research has been an incredible experience. Thank you all again.
We have a few QOL features we’re expecting to roll out over the next few months, a few nasty bugs we cannot for the life of us reproduce were trying to squash, and a major update for the most commonly requested feature.
The QR code logs are coming into the game. You will now be able to view them from inside SPRAWL and have them saved for you to revisit later. With the same on the nose styling you get from viewing them on the web.
But wait there is more! We can't talk much about it yet, but if you ever wanted to play SPRAWL on a couch, maybe without a PC... Hmm...
I keep saying it but I mean it. I’m so happy to be able to work on this game, thank you all so much for supporting us. ːsteamhappyː
You can watch BloodThunder’s run of SPRAWL here, with some commentary from myself (REVEL): Blood Thunder!
Until next time! See ya in the SPRAWL.
