Excitement is in the air for fans of Schedule 1 as the game’s solo developer, Tyler, hints at upcoming map expansions. The game, which was released in early access in March 2025, has quickly climbed the popularity charts, especially among streamers and content creators. Known for its unique take on manufacturing and distributing illicit substances, Schedule 1 boasts “overwhelmingly positive” reviews on Steam.
Developed using Unity, this game has managed to outshine even major titles like Marvel Rivals and Monster Hunter Wilds in terms of concurrent players on Steam. And impressively, all of this has been achieved by just one person—Tyler.
In a move that sparked even more enthusiasm, Tyler took to Twitch to reveal his vision for new map areas. This update drew the community’s attention as he showcased his work on Schedule 1’s 3D modeling, revealing plans for a new “swampy, slummy area” and fancy houses perched on a mountain’s cliffside. Not to stop there, Tyler is also eyeing an island just off the mainland for future development.
The buzz around these new areas has spilled onto Reddit, where fans are eagerly speculating about the challenges and intrigues the expansions could bring. One imaginative fan suggested the possible establishment of a gated community, while another mentioned the thrill of heightened police presence in certain areas. There’s a thirst for a mini-map, too, as the game’s world continues to grow.
Given that Tyler is steering this gaming ship alone, major updates are likely to take some time. Nonetheless, he has demonstrated an openness to player suggestions, adding employee lockers after fan requests. It’s clear he’s committed to enhancing the game with new features and improving the overall player experience.
While Schedule 1 is drawing a lot of positive attention, it’s not without its challenges. There have been instances of counterfeit versions appearing on mobile and PlayStation, which Tyler has warned fans about. He reiterated that these fake games are not affiliated with him, and he has future plans to port Schedule 1 to console platforms, a development eagerly anticipated by the game’s growing fan base.
