Coffee Stain Studios has officially released Satisfactory Update 1.1 on June 10, 2025. After months of testing on the experimental branch, the first major post-launch update is now available to everyone on PC. While console versions are still in development, PC players can now enjoy a bunch of exciting additions.

|What’s new in Satisfactory 1.1?

Full controller supportPlayers can now enjoy the game with native support for Xbox and PlayStation controllers. You can easily switch to controller mode in the game settings, giving you more flexibility in how you play.

Hypertube junctions and branchesTransportation just got smarter. You can now build three-way hypertube junctions and branches, allowing for better navigation and faster movement between factory zones.

Vertical splitters, mergers, and priority mergersFactory layouts are more efficient than ever. With vertical splitters and mergers, you can split or merge items directly on lifts. Priority mergers let you control which input gets processed first, ideal for keeping critical resources flowing.

Straight and curved build modesBuilding is now cleaner and more visually satisfying. You can lay pipes in a straight line or add smooth curves to both conveyors and pipes to create more polished-looking factories.
