2026-03-20System Shock Version 2.1 is officially live across all platforms! Internally, we’ve dubbed this the “Parity Patch.” This update represents a major milestone for System Shock, as we bring every platform onto the exact same version of the game. A massive thank you to our longtime fans and Kickstarter backers for your continued support and patience while we finalized this update.
