Evaluation
The Thrill of the Fight left Early Access and launched as a fully complete product on October 24, 2019. In a developer post on that same date, the solo developer (fyian) explicitly stated that "The Thrill of the Fight became content and feature complete earlier this year," with the October 24 update delivering final visual polish and combat tweaks. This is a clear, direct statement that the game's development cycle was finished. The most recent update in the news history is a small February 5, 2020 patch that added haptics hardware support and fixed a mixed-reality recording tool — a maintenance update, not new content. There have been no developer communications since February 2020, no announced future content, no unreleased DLC, and no roadmap pointing to additional development. The game shipped as a finished product and the developer confirmed it was complete at launch.

Room scale is required with a minimum supported play area size of 2m by 2m (6.5ft by 6.5ft). Please ensure your SteamVR Chaperone boundaries or Oculus Guardian boundaries are set up properly for room scale and that you are willing to move and punch anywhere within and around the play area you have defined. Joystick movement is not supported, and you are expected to physically move around in the real-world.
Oculus Quest is not supported. Do not purchase the PC version of The Thrill of the Fight to play using the Quest headset.
