Where to find your Blade and Sorcery version

Your Blade and Sorcery version number appears in the main menu of the game itself. Start the game, and on the title screen before you load a save, look at the bottom left or bottom right corner — you'll see a version number like "12.0" or "11.3". This is the quickest way to check what you're running right now.

If you're already in a game and want to check without restarting, pause the game and look for a settings or information menu. Some versions display the build number there as well. Write down the exact number you see, including any decimal points or letters after it — this matters when you're looking up patch notes or troubleshooting problems.

Key Takeaways

  • Your version number appears in the bottom corner of the Blade and Sorcery title screen before you load a game.
  • The version number format is usually a main number and a decimal (like 12.0 or 11.3), sometimes with letters or additional numbers after.
  • You can also find your version in the game's settings menu or by checking your Steam library properties if you own it there.
  • Knowing your exact version helps you understand which features and fixes you have, and whether you need to update.

Checking your version through Steam

If you own Blade and Sorcery on Steam, you can see your version number in the game's properties without launching the game. Right-click the game in your Steam library, select Properties, then click the Local Files tab. You won't see the version number displayed there directly, but you can click Browse Local Files to open the game folder.

Inside the game folder, look for a file called version.txt or check the main executable file's properties. On Windows, right-click the game's .exe file, select Properties, then click the Details tab. The file version listed there matches your game version. This method works even if Steam is showing an update is available but hasn't downloaded yet.

Understanding version numbers and what they mean

Blade and Sorcery version numbers follow a pattern: a major version (like 12), a minor version (like 0), and sometimes a patch number (like 12.0.5). The major number changes when the game gets significant new features or overhauls. The minor number changes for smaller updates and bug fixes. A patch number after that indicates a hotfix for a specific problem.

For example, version 12.0 is different from version 11.3 — you have a newer major release. But version 12.0 and version 12.1 are closer to each other; the second one just has some fixes or small additions. Knowing this helps you understand whether you're missing major content or just small improvements.

What to do if your version seems outdated

If your version number is significantly older than what you see in patch notes or community discussions, your game may not have updated. On Steam, right-click Blade and Sorcery in your library and select Properties. Look for an Updates section that shows when the last update was installed. If it says "Update available" or shows a date from months ago, Steam may not have auto-updated the game.

To force an update, click the Local Files tab and select Verify Integrity of Game Files. This tells Steam to check for missing or outdated files and download them. The process takes a few minutes. After it finishes, launch the game and check the version number again — it should be current now.

Version differences between platforms

Blade and Sorcery runs on PC through Steam and on Meta Quest headsets (Quest 2, Quest 3, and newer). The version numbers on Quest are sometimes different from the PC version because Meta Quest updates release on their own schedule. A PC version might be at 12.0 while Quest is still at 11.5, or vice versa.

If you play on both platforms, check the version on each device separately — they won't match. The features and content available also differ slightly between PC and Quest versions, so knowing which platform you're on matters when you're reading patch notes or looking for help with a specific feature.

Finding patch notes for your version

Once you know your version number, you can look up what changed in that release. The official Blade and Sorcery website and the game's Steam community page both post patch notes. Search for your version number (like "Blade and Sorcery 12.0 patch notes") to find what features, fixes, or changes came with that release.

Community forums and Discord servers also discuss specific versions. If you're experiencing a bug or looking for a feature, knowing your version helps you search for whether that problem was already fixed in a newer release, or whether the feature exists in your current version at all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my version number have letters after it?

Letters like "a", "b", or "rc" indicate a pre-release or experimental version. "RC" means "release candidate" — a version being tested before official release. If you see letters, you're running a beta or early access build, which may have bugs that the stable version doesn't have.

Can I downgrade to an older version?

On Steam, you can right-click the game, select Properties, then click the Betas tab to see if older versions are available to download. Most games don't keep old versions available, but Blade and Sorcery sometimes does. If no beta versions appear in that list, downgrading isn't an option through Steam.

My version number won't update even after I restart Steam

Close Steam completely, then reopen it and check for updates again. If that doesn't work, right-click Blade and Sorcery, select Properties, go to Local Files, and click Verify Integrity of Game Files. This forces Steam to re-download any files that don't match the current version.

Does my version number affect multiplayer or mods?

Yes. Some mods only work with specific versions, and multiplayer servers sometimes require all players to be on the same version. Before installing a mod, check its description to see which versions it supports. If you're joining a multiplayer session, make sure your version matches the host's version.
