NEW: Week 1 Early Access Patch #1 is live for In The Black. This update addresses many of the biggest first-week player issues, including multiplayer stability, intro mission fixes, improved HUD readability, bot balancing, loadout and module fixes, client/server reliability improvements, and continued work toward the return of the revised Squad System. We also moved basic cosmetic items into rank progression rewards so players can unlock them naturally through gameplay rather than direct purchase. Premium cosmetics remain cosmetic-only and will never provide gameplay advantages. If you are new to In The Black, we strongly recommend starting with the free permanent demo on Steam first. It is the best way to experience the flight model, controls, and overall feel before jumping into Early Access.
