We are expecting updates for NFL Retro Bowl '25, Retro Slam Tennis and Retro Bowl College in the coming days and weeks. The long awaited SIM and EXHIBITION modes for Retro Bowl College have been with our beta testers for a while now and it's looking good for a public release soon. We also have an update for NFL Retro Bowl '25 with 30 more players added to the game that we are expecting to be ready to download in the next day or two, and we have a Retro Slam Tennis bug fixing update that is in the process of getting ready for release, so look out for that shortly. As always, we really appreciate your patience and support.

Retro Bowl is getting a new update this week that fixes a couple of reported crashes, issues with Trucking and a couple of additions to the League/Restart screen as requested by the offline-league community.
Work on the 1.0 release of Retro Bowl College is progressing well and should be entering Beta soon.
