QUICK ANSWER

ReStory 1.0.035 lets you play your own music on the workshop radio. Open the game’s audio settings and use the custom-music toggle or the music-folder control. This radio feature is built into the game update. The developer announced native Custom Radio on November 12, 2026 at 16:39:57 UTC (November 13 at 00:39:57 in Beijing). The public Steam build at the November 13 check was 26622427. The separate story-fix beta was still build 26254291. If you need that beta to repair story progression, follow its dedicated instructions and keep an independent save backup.

Open the music controls in Audio settings

The official notes confirm the toggle and the folder control. A player on November 13 at 07:48 Beijing time described the following labels and folder on their installation. The exact sequence still needs an independent in-game check.

Player report on the audio menu and folder

  • Open Settings from the main menu or pause menu and go to Audio.
  • Look for Enable custom music. The player then saw Refresh track list and Select folder.
  • The player said Select folder opened a folder called CustomMusic inside their game directory. Use the folder opened by your own game.

Which formats, streaming services and platforms work?

The patch notes do not list supported extensions, subfolder behavior or what triggers a track-list refresh. MP3, FLAC, Spotify and Steam Deck compatibility are unconfirmed for the built-in feature. Exact Windows, macOS and SteamOS folder paths are also unconfirmed. Open the folder from the game when the control is available.
