the question is ofc about the PreRelease Builds, are they staying Patron only or would it be update to the game to those who bought it at some point?
It will be available on the beta branch, but it's not clear yet if there will be a patch for the beta branch since I don't want to confuse people with multiple patches. The proper 1.1.0 release will come to steam on August 29th. The reason the 1.1.0-beta won't be coming the main branch is because I expect it to have bugs and steam users tend to prefer a stable experience over fast acccess to new content.
