post-release
After it ships
Post-release describes the period or activities following an official release.
In criminal justice, post-release supervision monitors former inmates after prison: post-release programs help with reentry into society.
In entertainment, post-release refers to what happens after a product launches: The game received significant post-release updates.
The term applies to software patches, film marketing, album reviews—anything occurring after the initial release date.
