10 Years2025-10-13It's hard to believe, but 10 years ago today we released the first version of Paint the Town Red in Early Access on Steam.

We’ll have more to share closer to its release. Thank you for helping to make PTTR successful enough to keep working on after 10 years and we can’t wait to
Paint the Town Red VR version 1.1.0 Update2024-09-26This update is mainly focused on adding support for bHaptics devices (TactSuit, Tactosy and TactVisor) for increased immersion while playing in VR.
