The Version History is a list of updates and changes made to the game.
Risk of Rain 2 was originally developed by Hopoo Games and published by Gearbox Publishing. As of the Devotion Update Risk of Rain 2 is both developed and published by Gearbox after they purchased the intellectual property rights from Hopoo Games.
Prior to Gearbox's purchase releases on console devices arrived after bugs and issues were addressed in the Steam release. Console updates arrived on all devices simultaneously.[1] Since the Devotion Update Gearbox plans to release updates on all platform simultaneously, however, there may still be some slight delays between different platforms due to platform approval processes.
