Sam & Max Save the World 1.0.8 Update

Sam & Max Save the World

The Freelance Police are back in a remastered version of their first season of episodic adventure games, lovingly updated by a small group of the original developers with the blessing of Sam & Max creator Steve Purcell.

Over the last few months, while we've been working on remastering the next season and bringing Sam & Max Save the World to other platforms (like Xbox, available as of yesterday!), all of you have kept playing on PC and Switch, and you've helpfully been pointing out tiny bugs across the game. We fixed a bunch of them! Yesterday those fixes went live in version 1.0.8 across PC, Switch, and Xbox.
