Stick It to the Stickman Next Update: What to Expect

The Stick It to the Stickman next update is already outlined by the team, which is rare for a post-launch question. The 1.0 launch post ends with a short list of what to expect in the coming weeks, and that list is the official answer.

The list has four items: a big optimisation pass, bug fixes, Steam Trading Cards and other community items, and minor polish. No dates, no version numbers, but a clear direction.

This Stick It to the Stickman next update guide unpacks that list, explains what each item means for players, and separates what is announced from what is not.

The honest framing: the next update is planned in substance but not scheduled in the saved record, so anyone quoting a date is guessing.

What is not guesswork is the list itself, which comes straight from the team's launch post and has not been revised anywhere in the saved sources.

The Coming Weeks List

The launch post closes with the team's plan: a big optimisation pass, bug fixes, Steam Trading Cards and other community items, and minor polish. That is the entire announced next-update scope.

The phrase coming weeks is the only timing given, which is honest scheduling language rather than a hard date.

The order of the list reads as priority order too: optimisation first, then fixes, then community items, then polish, which is a sensible sequence for a freshly launched game.

What the Optimisation Pass Means

A big optimisation pass is performance work: the launch post jokes about blaming bugs on hardware, and the team separately promised to optimise the game, so frame-rate and memory improvements are the announced direction.

The saved record does not list specific systems, so which areas get faster is not stated, only that a substantial pass is coming.

Bug Fixes: What the Team Usually Fixes

The update history shows the team's fix style: the August update repaired ultrawide display issues, trap room softlocks, boss arena spawns, and progression bugs in the Employee Evaluation centre.

The next update's fixes are not itemized, but the history shows the team targets the exact categories players report most: display problems, softlocks, and progression blockers.

Players hitting a specific bug can take comfort in the pattern: the team's fix lists are long and specific, which suggests the next one will be too.

Trading Cards and Community Items

Steam Trading Cards are the concrete new arrival in the list: the launch post names them alongside other community items, which means Steam profile rewards for the game are part of the next update.

The saved record does not detail the card art, badges, or item list, so specifics are left to the update itself.

What the Next Update Is Not

The next update is not a content expansion. The launch post is explicit that the big teased modes, the Marketing Department, the Robot Takeover of Fulfilment, the Science Center, and Employee Evaluation Trials, were left unfinished.

So the Stick It to the Stickman next update should be read as the polish phase of a finished game, not the start of a new content season.

That reading is the most important takeaway on this page, because it sets expectations honestly: the next update will make the game better, not bigger.
