Patch 2026-07-23 July 23, 2026

  • When creating a lobby, you can now select a max player count of 6 players. PLEASE NOTE⚠️: The game is designed and has always been marketed around a maximum of 3 players. If you select a max player lobby above that, you must understand that you are playing outside of the way the game is designed. The game will likely become too chaotic, and is not recommended for your first playthrough. But you can ignore my warnings and do it anyway. You bought it. It's your game.
  • Fix for players unable to create joinable lobbies in Russia.
  • Lowered Marionette HP.
  • Made Jack in the box louder.
  • Removed the profanity filter.
  • Various other minor bug fixes.
