What's New in The Oregano Trail

1.4.0

October 7, 2026

Game Center is on the trail: thirteen achievements and two leaderboards, best score and the Hard Road, for anyone signed in. Not signed in? Nothing changes and the game never asks. Reduce Motion is respected, low supplies now say so in words, and every wagon gets the whole free trail from the first launch: the gentler Greenhorn Trail, fourteen decisions on the road, and rest as long as you like at any stop.

Thank you, and thanks for picking up the Trail Pass! More trail is on the way. Our next update is waiting on Apple's review right now. It adds the Daily Trail: a new trail every day, with its own weather, rivers, and strangers on the road, plus a streak to keep alive. It also brings Game Center, with thirteen achievements and two leaderboards. Pass holders recently got two dozen new trades and new season events too, so keep an eye out for those. We'll keep adding more.
