In the early days of gaming, post-launch support was minimal and primarily focused on bug fixes. Today, players expect ongoing support and new content for months or years after a game's release. RyseUp Studio, the developers of Roboquest, announced that after a decade of support, they will soon conclude updates for the game. The only remaining updates will be a PlayStation port and a standalone spinoff, Roboquest VR.

This situation highlights the evolving expectations in game development, particularly for smaller studios facing pressure to deliver extensive support.
