Evaluation

Outlaws of the Old West entered Steam Early Access on March 12, 2019 and has remained there ever since. During 2019 and into 2020, the developer (Virtual Basement LLC) was actively updating the game, shipping a notable Livestock Update in May 2019, adding anti-cheat (BattlEye) in April 2020, and posting patches on a monthly cadence through mid-2020. The last official communication from the developer on Steam was a feature patch on June 3, 2020. Since that date, there have been no patch notes, announcements, developer blog posts, or any other public communications from the studio. The game has never received a 1.0 release or any statement about when — or whether — it will leave Early Access. With over six years of silence following what had been a consistent monthly update schedule, it is unclear whether development is still ongoing or has been quietly abandoned.
