Fatshark’s summer break usually means reduced output through July , with a lighter pace and fewer hotfixes until August. A 2025 forum post said the team would be working more slowly during July, expected one hotfix in July, and then the next scheduled hotfix in August.

What that usually means

  • Not everyone is off at once, so some work still continues in the background.
  • Community posts and fixes tend to slow down rather than stop completely.
  • In a 2024 announcement, Fatshark said the next hotfix was expected in the first full week of August, which lines up with a roughly month-long summer slowdown.

Practical read

If you’re asking how long the break affects updates, the safest answer is: about one month, centered on July , with a ramp back into normal cadence in early-to-mid August.

TL;DR

Fatshark’s summer break is usually around July , and things typically pick back up in August.
