Stick It to the Stickman reached its 1.0 full release on September 23, 2026 at 16:02 UTC. Early Access began on August 18, 2025. Some localized Steam displays show September 24 for the same release window; the dated SteamDB release record and Steam app data use September 23 UTC.
What arrived with 1.0?
The official 1.0 announcement names an ultimate boss fight at the bottom of a billionaire’s bunker and the Neurolink game mode. The Steam store describes the bunker as the route toward the Founder. These are the clearest official additions to look for when comparing a 1.0 run with an Early Access guide.
The announcement also calls 1.0 a “near-final update” and lists four modes that were still unfinished: Marketing Department, Robot Takeover of Fulfilment, Science Center and Employee Evaluation Trials. Full release therefore does not mean every teased mode was finished on launch day. The announcement discussed further fixes and improvements, without confirming when those modes would be finished.
Which date should I use?
| Milestone | Date and scope |
|---|---|
| Early Access launch | August 18, 2025, according to the Steam store |
| 1.0 full release | September 23, 2026 at 16:02 UTC, according to Steam app data and SteamDB |
| Official release post | Dated September 24 on the Steam news feed; this is the post date, not a second launch |
If a store page shows September 24, check its local time zone before treating it as a different release. The dated UTC record gives a stable reference for comparing guides.
What should I recheck in older guides?
An Early Access guide may predate Neurolink in the full game, the billionaire’s bunker, later archetypes and changed mode progression. Foreign Manufacturing arrived before 1.0 and was named for an update at launch, so its older routes may also differ. Use the guide’s recording or update date for these details; the 1.0 announcement alone does not prove that every earlier control, unlock cost or mission step stayed the same.
As of September 28, 2026: The release status above comes from the Steam store and official announcement. Availability of every post-launch mode has not been checked in game.
