Evaluation
Just Xiangqi launched on January 15, 2024 as a complete Chinese Chess game with a full feature set including career mode, AI opponents, online play, historical matches, and challenges. Following launch, the developer shipped several patches — on January 20, 2024 (v1.0.3), February 17, 2024 (v1.0.7), and April 10, 2024 (v1.1.0) — adding quality-of-life improvements, new piece sets, macOS support, and additional modes like Endless Endgame Challenge and Free Position Setup. The most recent developer communication was the v1.1.0 patch on April 10, 2024. Since then, there have been no further posts, announcements, or roadmap commitments. No DLC has been listed on the store, and the developer has made no statements about future expansions or additional content. The game appears to have launched as a complete product and received a focused post-launch polish period through early 2024, with no signals of ongoing content development beyond that window.
