The FFW Bullet-in: January 2026

31 Jan

Howdy folks!

Welcome to the very first issue of the Far Far West Bullet-in: our new monthly news blog where we round up what’s been happening, share milestones, and give yall a peek at what’s coming next.

We’re planning to post one of these towards the end of every month, so if you like behind-the-scenes updates, numbers, and want sneak peeks at what’s coming up, you’re in the right place!

Let’s get into it.

A Quick Look Back at the Trail So Far

Far Far West has come a long way in a pretty short amount of time.

What started early last year as a scrappy prototype (once known internally as Canyon) slowly evolved into the spell-slinging, robot-cowboy chaos you’ve been playtesting! Along the way, we:

Signed with Fireshine Games in May / June 2025
Revealed Far Far West during the PC Gaming Show
Ran our first closed community playtests in August 2025
Launched our first public playtest in October 2025

Each step brought in players, feedback, and clarity on what Far Far West should be, and January took things even further.

January 2026: What Went Down

A lot happened in January! Let’s dig in.

Open Playtest #2 (Jan 8 – Jan 19)

Our second open playtest absolutely blew past our expectations:

9,270 peak concurrent players(up from ~2,500 in Playtest #1)
300,000+ total players(up from 130k!)
25,000 Discord members(we were under 7k before Playtest #2 started)

Seeing THAT MANY of you jump in, join up, break things, report bugs, and put the game through its paces was INCREDIBLE. The feedback we gathered during this playtest is already shaping what we’re working on next.

We went through the +11k feedback forms submitted during the playtest, which helped us pinpoint what works well and what our next objectives are.

NewGame+ Showcase

We also took part in the NewGame+ showcase, where we shared and talked through a mission walkthrough.

Clip Capture Challenge

During Open Playtest #2, we ran our Clip Capture Challenge in Discord, asking players to submit their best Far Far West moments.

We saw TONS of entries from our community, and handed out €100 in Steam vouchers to the winners.

First mistake about this game

Is not adding a solo mode. Not everyone likes to play in forced coop, i personally love to play games as a solo even though i have a couple of friends to play games with, i rather experience them solo though. I hope they add a solo mode unless there is one and i missed it, let me know if there is but i did not see it anywhere, even in their description here on steam it says coop only, solo is not listed in the tags. But yeah man, game is cool i just dont understand why you would cater only for coop, that...

Playtest Now CLOSED!

19 Jan

Howdy Cowboys,

We’ve just flipped the switch and the Far Far West playtest is now CLOSED

Over the last couple of weeks you’ve filled the servers, broken builds (in the best way), sent us an avalanche of feedback, and generally stress tested the game way harder than we ever could on our own

That kinda of hands on help is priceless, and we cant thank you enough for showing up the way you did

Were heading back into dev mode now to dig through everything you shared and start turning it into fixes and improvements for what comes next. You’ve given us a lot to work with, which is a very good problem to have

One final THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU to each an every one of you for takin' part in this playtest, and we hope to get FFW back in your hands very soon (and don't forget we're still planning on launching into Early Access this year)

Stay tuned RIGHT HERE for all future FFW news & announcements, and we'll see yall far (far) west very soon

Shotgun x sheriff stars glitch

One bug i have found is that if you play the sheriff stars with the shotgun, if you shoot your stars, and then go to pick them up as you have the shotgun in hand, it's magazine gets really small (1 shot literally) and you can reload eternally, thus wasting all your ammo. It shows like 1/102 and reloads forever without the 1 ammo in the mag changing. But otherwise guys, great game, just "finished it" (did abt everything), love it, 5 stars to play with friends, the more jokers there will be and the more sp...
