What's New in Neon Primitive
1.4.34
August 22, 2026
Neon Primitive now tells you when a new version is out, and shows what the update fixes, so you are not left to find out on your own. It never blocks play - if you are offline it simply does not appear. Added a clear warning when you create a local pilot: local progress is saved on your device only, and cannot be recovered if you delete the game or switch phones. Sign in with Apple or Google to keep it backed up. Also fixed: the Core Research repayment could not reach pilots who updated through 1.4.31 on their way to the current version, so it never arrived for some of the people it was meant for. That condition is gone, and the repayment is now 60 Neon Cores.
