Stellaris updates are going to start coming more slowly, because new patches are causing new problems and QA testers can't keep up

Two days after releasing another update for Stellaris, Paradox says the pace of patches is going to slow down—not because Stellaris 4.0 is in tip-top shape (it's not), but because firing out updates so quickly is causing more headaches than its worth.

Released in early May alongside the not-very-popular BioGenesis expansion, the 4.0 update was not in a great state when it went live. "During the lead-up to the release, I was confident that we would be able to finish the revamp and clean up the most critical bugs," game director Eladrin wrote shortly after the update rolled out. "We fell short of that goal, and we’re committed to continuing to fix things until the 4.0 release is in the state it needs to be in."
