Hello, I have been busy porting the game on consoles (XboxOne, XboxSerieS/X, PS4, PS5, and Switch), but this process considerably improved the quality of the game because it passed the certification of Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo! In this PC update, you can find all those improvements:

• Invite system for online multiplayer: send invites to your Steam friends directly from the Steam chat or the new invite button in the game.
• Change game mode without having recreated a party. You can now change the game mode in the pause menu.
• Graphical improvements: better textures and shaders
• Performance optimization: more FPS for old computers
• Better support of the mouse/keyboard to add an extra player in couch party mode
• Polish: manage controller disconnection, display tips, and error messages want necessary.
• Bug fixes

Let me know if you enjoy those improvements and if you have new suggestions to improve the game ;) Thanks, Fred Triple Scale Games

Patch v1.2: We updated the graphics of the arenas to make them look nicer and fit the same art style, we also simply some textures so players can identify more easily what's happening during the match. Let us know what you think.



Community request: We added a button to change the game mode in the menus to avoid having to return to the main menu to change it. Regards, Fred
