EnglishWhere to Find Frictional Games News and Game Updates
Updated
The official source is the Posts section of frictionalgames.com, which carries announcements, game news, patch notes, and development updates. The most reliable entry points are the Recent Posts list, the category filters (Announcement, Games, News, Blog, Event, and per-title categories such as SOMA or Amnesia: The Bunker), and the Archives for older items. For a specific title, check its category and look for a post that names the version number.
What the site publishes
The Posts feed mixes several kinds of updates, and the category tags tell you which is which:
| Content type | Where it appears | Example from the site |
|---|---|---|
| Game announcements and releases | Announcement, Games, News | "Simon from SOMA plushie available now!" (18 June 2024) |
| Patch notes and fixes | News, plus the game's own category | "AMNESIA: THE BUNKER UPDATED – 1.31" |
| Community events and mod contests | Event, Blog, News | "Frictional Mod Jam 2026 – WHAT IS REALITY?" (27 May 2026) |
| Books and behind-the-scenes material | Announcement, Games, News | "Announcing Amnesia: Design Works" (24 November 2025) |
| Engine and modding news | HPL1, HPL2, HPL3 | Mod Jam posts tagged by engine version |
Each post is signed (for example, Oskar Larsson) and dated, so you can judge how current an item is before acting on it.
Finding a patch note for a specific game
- Open the Posts section and scan Recent Posts first; patches are usually near the top when fresh.
- If the patch is not recent, use the category list and select the game's category (for example, Amnesia: The Bunker).
- Read the post title for a version number. The Bunker update is labelled "Version 1.31" and the post includes a link to the game on Steam plus a patch log.
- Expect the patch log to describe quality-of-life improvements and list addressed issues. The post also invites players to report anything they still encounter, so the comments or contact route in that post is the follow-up channel.
The expected result is a dated post naming the version and the changes; if you only find the announcement of an update without a version number, treat it as a general notice rather than a changelog.
Checking older announcements
Older items are reachable through the Archives and the category filters rather than by scrolling the feed indefinitely. This matters for things like the Frictional Mod Jam 2024: Escape Room Edition (28 May 2024), whose rules and deadlines are only useful in their original post. When you land on an archived post, confirm the date before relying on deadlines or submission links.
Following a mod jam or event
Event posts follow a consistent pattern you can use as a checklist: duration, theme, medium, submission link, and prize. The 2026 jam, for instance, runs 27 May to 25 August under the theme "WHAT IS REALITY?", uses HPL engine modding, and offers one ROG Xbox Ally from ASUS ROG as the prize. If you plan to enter, read the full post rather than the excerpt, since the submission link and rules sit in the body.
Practical tips
- Prefer the dated post over any summary elsewhere; the site's own posts carry the version numbers and links.
- Use category tags to separate game updates from merchandise and book announcements, which share the same feed.
- The site does not state prices, platform availability, or login requirements for the items it announces; follow the links in each post (such as the Steam link in the Bunker patch note) for those details.
- For upcoming titles, the homepage prompt "Wishlist ONTOS now" points to the wishlist route, but the store page itself is where availability is confirmed.
