Drug Dealer Simulator Schedule I continues to captivate players on Steam, maintaining its status as one of the platform's most-played games. The game's developer, Tyler, has released the first significant post-launch update, version 0.3.4, which is now available for testing on the beta branch. Tyler shared on the game's Steam page that the beta will be available for a day or two before its full release, and players can opt into the beta to experience the new features early.
Tyler noted that while the beta doesn't include all the features planned for the full release, it was important to release it quickly to allow players to test the new wall-mounted objects and the pawn shop interface. He mentioned that additional decorative objects will be added on April 8.

Upon its launch, Schedule I became the top-selling game on Steam, surpassing major titles like Monster Hunter Wilds, GTA 5, and Marvel Rivals, thanks to its viral spread across social media, Twitch, and YouTube. In the game, players start as small-time dealers in the gritty city of Hyland Point and work their way up to becoming drug kingpins, managing the production and distribution of various drugs, and expanding their empire through properties, businesses, and employees.
Developed and published by the Australian indie developer TVGS, known as Tyler, the game's explosive launch has been described as "amazing but pretty overwhelming." Tyler expressed his surprise at the game's reception on Reddit, stating, "I never expected this kind of response! At the moment I’m just trying to stay focused and get patches out ASAP. Also looking forward to getting started on content updates as soon as all major bugs are patched."
