Hello, POSTAL Fans!

A while back, we released POSTAL Redux Pinball for the game Zaccaria Pinball. For those who are not familiar yet with any of this, we have teamed up with Running With Scissors and got permission to make pinball tables based on POSTAL 2, we have made 4 tables and added them all into 1 pack.
All these tables are now playable in Zaccaria Pinball.

Check it out!

PS: Users that purchase the pack will get some balls to suck on, a trio of testicles: MikeJ, Krotchy and the Dude. Free balls, premium balls.

WE REGRET NOTHING!

The Magic Pixel Team

We are big fans of the Steam Deck here at RWS, and we are actively working to ensure all of our games provide a great experience on the platform. We are proud to announce that, after some back and forth with Valve's diligent verification team, we have ironed out all the kinks, and POSTAL 2 is now fully Deck verified via its native Linux client!

We took things a step further as well. When playing on the Deck, the button prompts now display the correctly styled Steam Deck glyphs instead of the Xbox controller ones, and we have created a custom "how to play" screen.

Please note that, as of now, there is no cross-cloud save feature between the native Linux and Windows versions. While Valve does not require this for awarding a verified tick, they strongly encourage it, and we are committed to implementing this feature in a future update.

Hope those of you with a Deck enjoy these updates and don't forget to leave P2 a review if you have not already!

🎉 Happy 20th Anniversary POSTAL 2! 🎉

We're stoked to announce our celebratory update, which brings the widely loved community mod 'xPatch' into the official fold, as well as other improvements! This update is jam-packed with exciting new features, enhancements, and bug fixes that will elevate your POSTAL 2 experience to a whole new level.

Some of the standout additions include improved Steam Deck compatibility, the Two Weeks In Paradise game mode (Paradise Lost), a reworked New Game menu, and a new "Ludicrous" difficulty. Plus, we've added the Flipping the Bird feature from Paradise Lost into the base P2, expanded Crosshair Customization, and introduced the super-fun Cat Launcher as a cheat-only weapon!

We've also made some significant changes to the game, such as restoring the original number of particles for blood effects, improving Muzzle Flash Effects, and adding new weapon options like Cat Silencers now being usable on more weapons, and dual-wielding Sawn-Off Shotguns. During the apocalypse, bystanders will now use more weapons too, making for a more thrilling and chaotic experience!

Furthermore, those who want to enjoy POSTAL 2 as it was in 2003 can now play 'Classic' mode, which presents the game closer to how it was at launch, before all the modern updates (while still retaining various modern quality of life improvements such as widescreen support). You can even cherry-pick which aspects of the game you'd like to see as either original or updated, how cool is that?

And that's just the tip of the iceberg! We've squashed numerous bugs and crashes, ensuring a smoother gaming experience for everyone.

So gear up, grab your weapons, and let the mayhem begin as we celebrate 20 years of POSTAL 2! 🥳

Note: This update will reset user configurations such as button layouts and video settings. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Hey, POSTAL fans!

Today, we are celebrating 25 years of Going POSTAL! The sale event will run from November 10th to 15th, so be sure to check out all the sweet deals here: https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/publisher/RWS/sale/postalfranchise

To celebrate this special occasion, we put together an anniversary trailer, check it out! :)

Hyperstrange-developed POSTAL: Brain Damaged, the action-packed DOOM Eternal-like spin-off of the POSTAL series is finally here, and if you own any of the eligible RWS or Hyperstrange titles, or some other staple throwback-shooters like DUSK, Hedon, or Nightmare Reaper, you can get PBD with an additional discount added on top of -20% release discount via one of the special bundle deals.

Plus, we're happy to report it really SLAPS! With more than 1100 reviews it currently enjoys an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' rating, with more than 95% players recommending the game.

Yes, Hyperstrange really pulled this one off. The game is good and the release has been relatively bug-free despite the 2-week delay made explicitly to implement some bugs and stay on-brand. But it wouldn't be a POSTAL release if something haven't gone wrong. Many of you were waiting for the release of the POSTAL: Brain Damaged Official Soundtrack. The wait is finally over! The OST has arrived, and you can get it separately or bundled with the official Art Book in the POSTAL: Brain Damaged - Connoisseur Edition.


The Hyperstrange Dev team is very grateful for the amazing reception of PBD. This gives them even more motivation to improve and expand the game post-release. Here's what to expect soon:

• Post-release fix - an update taking care of the known issues reported by the players, that slipped into the full release (ETA: One week)
  
• Balancing update - some players, as well as some internet micro-celebrities, have brought to our attention that the game offers way to much ammo if you explore the levels 'Quake-style', and far too little if you prefer to push on 'Doom Eternal-style'. The update will take care of that issue, allowing everyone to enjoy the game in their preferred playstyle. The update will also reconfigure some of the enemy positioning, spawns, and behavior. (ETA: One month)
  
• New playmodes - With that taken care of, the dev team will proceed to expanding the game itself, introducing an oft-requested horde mode, as well as another playmode offering a new, and replayable PBD experience. (ETA: This summer)
  
• More to be announced!

Hyperstrange and RWS are both extremely pleased with the reception of POSTAL: Brain Damaged. We're as excited as you are, to see what the future will bring to this explosive and twisted spin-off.

Your true friends and family,

One week to go and your support has been incredible so far. Over 330 of you have helped PlayTest Network reach 90% of their established goal to fully fund this project that aims to document the good, the bad and the downright batshit crazy story of Running With Scissors and the POSTAL franchise.

When we first announced this project, many people were wondering why would “we” make a documentary in the middle of the development of POSTAL 4. So relaaaax, we are not the ones making the documentary and our games will always be top priority, especially during Early Access. We’re just spreading the word to help the talented team of two passionate guys who want to make this documentary a reality.

If you can’t donate via Indiegogo, here’s some alternatives:

• Donating directly to their PayPal account, playtesttv@gmail.com | Your matched donation amount will place you in with their current perks.
• They can also accept checks via snailmail. To get their mailing address, send them an email to playtesttv@gmail.com
• (Outside of Indiegogo) They will gratefully take donations even after the campaign ends. As they begin post-production, they fully anticipate more challenges as they move forward with finding a distributor.
• Send this campaign to any documentary or video game enthusiast, right now! They might not know about Postal, but you might introduce somebody to their new favorite game! And or they might never talk to you again. Could go either way really.

We’re so close to reaching that goal, we can already taste Krotchy’s nutsack!

And remember, even if you don’t donate, just spreading the word is already a huge help. So please help us spread the word and make this documentary a reality!

As always, thank you all for your continued support! <3
