Evaluation

Postal III originally released on February 17, 2012 and was later removed from Steam due to DRM issues. The developer (Trashmasters) brought it back in October 2023 with a "No DRM" update, and followed up with a second patch on January 29, 2024 that added mod support, several new localizations, bug fixes, and a Fart Gun DLC item. That January 2024 update appears to be the most recent developer activity. The only DLC listed — the Official Soundtrack — was released on November 9, 2023 and is already available. There are no unreleased DLC items, no announced future content, no roadmap, and no developer statement indicating further updates are planned. The two post-restoration patches read as a focused effort to bring the game up to an acceptable state after its return to Steam, rather than the beginning of an ongoing content cycle. With no outstanding commitments and no developer communication since January 29, 2024, the game appears to have settled into a complete state.

Evidence

Second post-restoration patch added mod support, multiple localizations, bug fixes, and the Fart Gun DLC. This is the most recent developer communication.

About this game

Good or Insane? The choice is yours.
Following the Apocalyptic end to the Postal Dude’s week in Paradise, we follow him and his insane pitbull Champ as they emigrate to its appropriately named sister city, Catharsis. Unfortunately, due to the Global Economic Meltdown, psychotic left-wing “Green” extremism and hypocritical Government corruption, it turns out Catharsis isn’t a much better place to live.
What path will you choose when faced with the antics of a hypocritical scheming Mayor? A berserk cartoon mascot with Al Qaeda ties? A former Vice-President’s cadre of Eco-Zealots? How about Gay Segway “biker” gangs, and a sociopathic cult leader Uncle with nuclear ambitions? Will you give in to your base instincts and fight fire with gasoline? Or will you rise above it to become something more, to serve and protect your fellow citizens from the rampant insanity of our modern society?
