- Big Bullet Fest Update - 8 June 2026
Hello Hackers! Apologies for going dark on you for longer than intended. Our team worked hard to fix the bugs you reported alongside some quality of life upgrades that needed more brainpower than expected. Either way, we are finally ready to come out of our programming cave: just in time for Steam's Bullet Fest. Controller SupportOfficial controller support is here! We reworked the input system completely to allow for a smooth experience that doesn't require you to switch back and forth between the different input methods any more.

This should also make for a smoother experience on the Steam Deck for those of you on the go.Save & Return to RunsWe heard you: busy lives demand from the best of us that we leave our gaming stations and tend to more urgent tasks.Be it a quick round started and not f…

- ROS!E as Plush? Let's Make(ship) it Happen! - 13 March 2026
Hello Hackers! We (briefly) interrupt your gaming time to announce a first for us as game developers: MERCH 🧸A while ago, Makeship reached out and asked if we thought our animal operatives would make a good collectable. While we absolutely love the idea of our characters coming to life, we don't want to produce something our players have no interest in, creating waste - we might be hackers, but we do have morals 🏳️🎩So we decided to launch a Makeship Petition: if enough of you pledge $2 in the next 9 days, our beloved ROS!E will arrive in plush form at your door after a few months of production. You will only pay the rest of the price ($27.99 + shipping and tax) when the petition is successful, otherwise you will automatically be refunded.Grab your chance at a real life unicorn and sign up for purchase here: https://www.makeship.com/petitions/net-attack-hacker-rose-plushie We hope tha…

- Full Release: Patch Notes - 12 March 2026
07734 Hackers 🙃💻 Apologies if this message pulled you out of hyperfocus. It is worth it though, we promise! Today, Net.Attack() officially releases, even though you might have been playing a version of this game since 2024. First as playable prototype "somewhere else on the internet”, then a proper demo exhibited at gaming conventions and eventually published here, and most recently the Early Access version we have been updating meticulously since. Much has happened during all this time, and – we believe – the final result has been made all the better for it. Without your vigorous playtesting, thoughtful feedback, and direct engagement with developers and other community members, this game would not be the same. So, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much, and please celebrate this release as a shared success with us. We will for sure be lurking on the Community Discord 👀 En…
