Unrailed 2: Back on Track has rolled out a fresh experimental update that invites players to test new features before they hit the main game. If you’re curious about what’s coming next, this update offers some interesting additions and fixes that might change how you build your rails.
Accessing the experimental version is simple: right-click Unrailed in your Steam library, go to Settings, then Betas, and select the experimental branch. Remember, these changes are still in flux and could shift based on player feedback. You can share your thoughts on the Steam discussion page or join the developers on their Discord server.
