Evaluation
2048 launched on Steam on October 31, 2018. The developer ran a closed beta in October 2018, shipped the game at 1.0, and posted a launch announcement on November 1, 2018. That launch post is the last developer communication on record — there have been no news posts, patches, DLC, or updates of any kind since then. The store description presents the game as a fully featured package (multiple board sizes, game modes, leaderboards, achievements, night mode, cloud saves) with no mention of planned additions. The game launched as a complete, self-contained product and has received no post-launch content development. It is complete as shipped.
Evidence
Developer announced the game is live on Steam, describing the full feature set. This is the last developer communication on record.
Pre-release beta announcement noted they 'probably can't cram any more features into the v.1.0 release', suggesting the feature set was locked at launch.
