Introducing yuzu Early Access (Patreon)

A very good day to you all out there! Today, we are excited to announce a new yuzu official release channel for our Patreon subscribers — yuzu Early Access. It comes with all the perks you’re already accustomed to, and then some!

This new release channel includes all the same daily yuzu updates that you are accustomed to, plus the early releases of features that you have typically seen in special Patreon releases! 

What does it mean for you?

If you are a Patreon subscriber at the Early Access tier, you will be able to install this new release channel. You will not need to worry about manually checking in on the yuzu Patreon and downloading one-off releases — as these updates will be pushed directly to you through the installer. You’ll also get all of the other daily updates with this release channel, so there will not be a need to switch back and forth between Patreon releases and daily releases.

If you are not a Patreon subscriber and use the regular yuzu builds, not much will change! You’ll still get the same daily yuzu updates, which will include new features and bug fixes once they are ready for mainstream use.

How do I install yuzu Early Access?

Follow this detailed step-by-step guide to install yuzu Early Access via the Installer
 

Why did we make this change?

Primarily, this change is for the benefit of you, our Patrons!

• You will get more special Patreon releases (daily, not monthly)
• You will not need to use two versions of yuzu (Patreon releases and the regular releases)
• You will not have to wait for Patreon features to also reach our regular releases

This also makes things easier for us  —  You can learn more about that here.

So I’ve installed Early Access, now what?

We’re rolling out the release of Early Access softly — so you may not notice too many new features or bug fixes just yet. This is to give us time to make sure the new release channel is stable, and work out any kinks.

But rest assured — we have a really exciting feature coming, that many of you have been asking for, and it’s right around the corner! This feature is days away… not weeks… So, hang tight!
