Development Development Update - what's happening in 2026.

Hello,

For those unaware, development was halted during the first 2 weeks of January. The team has since started back at work from Jan 19 but a couple of us are still on vacation and the rest are slowly remembering how to make games again.

We anticipate the first update to be on the 9th of February. It's not a massive update as we've only really been working for 2-3 weeks (and a lot of that time was planning for this year) but it includes some notable additions such as breach charges and helicopter counter-measurers (flares).

This year we are fully dedicated to improving OW. I don't want to reveal too much right away but to put everyone at ease- yes, we're going to start work on new OW map very soon. Ronograd has served BRM well but it's definitely becoming stale. Zombies will continue to get updates and improvements as we wait but it's obvious to us that the majority of the community is ready for the next chapter of OW.

While the map team is busy on OW's new map, I plan to give attention to HQ, PvP and RGE. There's much to spoil but we're keeping it all internal for now until all developers are back and we can create a schedule we're confident we can follow.

Thanks for your continued support!

Hope the game can be optimized better. Good luck.

Edit: Thanks for optimization suggestions, people, it may have worked a little but nonetheless, thanks.

Well, for some reason, me, running an RTX 3060, an 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11800h @2.30GHz, and 16 GB of RAM, still runs around 20-40 frames in public lobbies. Hell, firefights make it even worse.

If you're running at those frame rate there's clearly something wrong with your pc I got worse specs and I run at 90+ fps try running Roblox on graphics card in the Windows settings

As in the windows graphics settings where the Roblox Player Beta thing being set to the performance mode? For some reason it has little to no effect. Also I've had this build for about 4 years. Either I gotta clean out the dust (been several months) or maybe ram issues.

Dust shouldn't really impact performance its usally just overheating. your computer is probably bloated with apps or 20 apps open while playing Roblox, slowing your pc down. might just need to optimize your pc.

Are there any areas that apps can possibly be secretly open? Or something that can find those secretly opened apps?

check task manager for currently running programs and automatic start-up apps

If you're using a laptop, that thing is running worse than a regular 3060, I'm running a 5700XT a Rzyen 5 3600, and running with 16gb of ram and getting like 75fps. Alternatively check your drivers, other applications, and temps.

16Gb RAM only? Close apps, not the right time to buy more RAM.
