1. Go to https://github.com/OpenTTD/website/new/main/_posts and write a new announcement post. See a [previous example](https://github.com/OpenTTD/website/pull/238) for a template.
2. Create a new branch for this post and open a PR for it.
3. Write announcement text for socials like Forum/Discord/Twitter/Reddit and include it in the PR.
3. Write announcement text for the store pages and socials like TT-Forums / Discord / Twitter / Reddit / Fosstodon / etc., and include it in the PR.
4. Create a Steam news image for that post and include it in the PR.
5. Check the website post (preview link via checks page) and make corrections. We usually just use the GitHub web interface for this and squash the result later.

6. Get this PR approved, but do not merge yet.
## Step 3: Make the actual OpenTTD release
1. Go to https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/releases/new and create a new tag matching the release number. For the body of the release, see any older release. "Set as a pre-release" for a beta or RC, set as latest for a real release.
2. Merge website PR.
3. Wait for the OpenTTD release checks to be complete.
4. Check that website links to the new release are working and correct, using the [staging website](https://www-staging.openttd.org/).
5. If this is a full release, ask orudge to update the Microsoft Store and TrueBrain to move the release from the "testing" to "default" branch on Steam.
1. Go to https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/releases/new and create a new tag matching the release number. For the body of the release, copy in the changelog. "Set as a pre-release" for a beta or RC.
2. Wait for the OpenTTD release workflow to be complete.
3. Merge the website PR. This will publish the release post.
4. If this is a full release:
* for `Steam`: under Steamworks -> SteamPipe -> Builds, set the "testing" branch live on the "default" branch. This will request 2FA validation.
* for `GOG`: under Builds, "Publish" the freshly uploaded builds to `Master`, `GOG-use only` and `Testing`.
* for `Microsoft Store`: ask orudge to publish the new release.
Access to `Steam`, `GOG` and/or `Microsoft Store` requires a developer account on that platform.
You will need access to the shared keystore in order to create such an account.
For help and/or access to either or both, please contact TrueBrain.
## Step 4: Tell the world
1. Tag and create a website release to trigger the actions that update the website.
2. After the website is live, make announcements on social media. You may need to coordinate with other developers who can make posts on Twitter, Reddit, Steam, and GOG.
