MicroProse News: Steel Bounty and Legendary Pilots

This is our final newsletter for the year. As we wrap up 2025 and look toward 2026, we wanted to take a moment to highlight some of the updates and announcements from these last few weeks. Thank you for being with us throughout the year. Your support, feedback, and enthusiasm mean a great deal to every team involved.

If you’ve been craving old‑school mech action with a dynamic campaign, we’re happy to share that we’ve partnered with Apoc to bring Steel Bounty to Steam.

Legendary Pilots offers a cozy blend of flight sim fundamentals and airline management, wrapped in a retro style. It’s a gentle introduction to flight sims and perfect for anyone in the family who’s curious but hasn’t taken the leap yet. We’re working to bring a full PC version to Steam, but you can already try the mobile version for free on iOS[apps.apple.com] and Google Play[play.google.com].
