Evaluation

Airport X-Ray Simulator entered Early Access on December 12, 2024 as a solo project by developer Craig at Rainbow Lab. Since launch, it has received 106 updates — a mix of major feature additions and bug fixes — progressing steadily through version numbers up to the current 0.9.0, which shipped on August 28, 2026 with Steam Workshop community creations, a fully rebuilt interactive tutorial, and 19 new items. On September 13, 2026, the developer posted an announcement introducing a new separate project (Camp Paradise: Island Resort Tycoon) and explicitly addressed what this means for Airport X-Ray Simulator: the game is currently at 0.9.0, and the next update is planned to be its full 1.0 release. The developer acknowledged that no release date has been set yet, that some development time over the coming weeks will be spent preparing Camp Paradise for Steam Next Fest in October 2026, but that work on Airport will continue alongside that effort, and once Next Fest concludes, getting Airport to 1.0 becomes the primary development focus. The developer has maintained consistent, transparent communication throughout the entire Early Access period and there is no sign of development stalling. A 1.0 release is the stated next milestone.
