OI GITS!
We can't believe it either, but the PlayStation & XBOX versions of Speed Freeks are finally getting wrapped up for release this spring 🤘
The console version development actually started in 2023 and despite some big bumps along the way, they're almost here.
Ok, so what?
What does this mean for PC players? Well, more players in general, and thus more matches to be found.
The biggest complaint we see about the game is the lack of players to play with, so this will be a huge win in that department.
The console release will also come with a new WAAAGH! Path full of items, which is obviously available to Steam players as well (for free, of course) 👍
Next Patch 🛠️
We're soon releasing a regular update to the Steam version before the console release, so you can expect that in the next couple weeks. The main highlights of this patch are:
Join/invite through Steam
Players can now use the Steam UI to invite their friend to the match their in, or join a match their friend is already in
An option to have unrestricted switching teams when creating a match
When this is enabled, players can switch teams regardless of scores, as long as there is a spot on the other team. This allows friends to more easily play on the same team
Improvements to bot behaviour, including having Squigbuggies focus on healing more (plus friendly squigbuggies now have a + sign on HUD instead of a dot)
Significant gamepad improvements, including driving, aim assist, and adding a new trigger driving setup as an alternative to joystick driving
Workshop and Kustom Rally UI and flow improvements
Deffkopta can no longer stun itself
And probably other stuff I'm forgetting
We'll have full patch notes once it drops.
Here's the PlayStation announcement trailer if you'd like a look:
