Howdy folks!
We apologise for the long wait but are thrilled to share that the PS5 and Xbox Series versions of Cattle Country are finally caught up with the latest build out on PC. We’ve been working hard fixing them bugs and improving the game for all our players but unfortunately it has taken a little longer on consoles due to longer patch submission processes on the platforms.
On that note, we’re working hard to get the Switch version of Cattle Country up-to-date with the rest and we should not be too far away from doing so. Thank you for all your support and feedback on Cattle Country so far.
