Quick Answer
If you have already started the campaign, do not keep every run in one save lane. Preserve one clean story save and one TacSim practice save, because IOI’s early-June 2026 Year One plan confirms regular TacSim updates, gadget upgrades, new weapons, leaderboard challenges, new enemies, cosmetics, returning vehicles, fresh scenarios, and New Game+ exploration, while the Switch 2 version remains set for Summer 2026.
Core Checklist
| Roadmap item | Prepare this now | Why it matters early |
|---|---|---|
| Regular TacSim updates | Keep one stable settings profile and a practice save. | That makes future score, route, and gadget comparisons cleaner. |
| Gadget upgrades and new weapons | Note your current favorite Q tools and fallback style. | You will know whether a new tool is an upgrade or a sidegrade. |
| Leaderboards and new enemies | Finish one clean campaign pass and log your common mistakes. | Challenge updates are easier to review against a known baseline. |
| New story missions and scenarios | Try to keep separate saves around major story checkpoints. | You avoid replaying too much old ground for new content. |
| Switch 2 summer version | Track platform notes and patch notes separately from day one. | Future platform-comparison pages stay cleaner and less speculative. |
Order Of Work
- Keep one clean campaign save before you turn every session into TacSim cleanup.
- If you start score-chasing, log settings, patch number, and platform together.
- When roadmap updates add enemies, gadgets, or scenarios, decide which old guides that changes first.
- Do not project current PC or console feel directly onto the Switch 2 version before launch.

FAQ
Is New Game+ confirmed right now?
Not yet. IOI says it is being explored, so treat it as a probable direction, not a live feature.
Should I grind TacSim immediately?
Only after you understand the campaign loop. A clean first run gives better context for later roadmap drops.
Should I wait for Switch 2?
Wait if handheld play matters most, but the clearly released and actively updated versions today are PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
