The latest official patch for every game we boost, explained in plain English: what was fixed, what changed and what it means for your rank.
The latest patch for 48 games we boost, explained in plain English: what was fixed, what changed, what is new, and what it means if you are climbing ranked or finishing endgame. Every entry links to the developer's official notes. Last checked October 22, 2026.
Belgardin Conquest (to Dec 2) and Arktoberfest (to Nov 18) events
What it means for you: Hitting item level 1,750 now unlocks the new raid and Vambraces, which become a key power source, so expect the endgame gear and gold grind to move up toward 1,770 to 1,780.
Latest hotfix in the Sky Odyssey cycle: Gripen countermeasure control, J-16 night vision and research-tree UI polish, following the big September Sky Odyssey update.
What changed
JAS39 Gripens (UK, Italy, Japan) can fire fuselage countermeasures separately
J-16 gains night vision
Research tree ranks can be collapsed/expanded with clearer icons
Preset copies now appear right after the original
Nuclear Escalation got a new Southeastern City mission (Oct 16)
What was fixed
F-14D stray HUD text with AIM-54A fixed
Recycled-material crafting no longer gives fewer items than requested
Squadron research point window no longer opens instead of auto-applying points
Earlier Oct hotfixes fixed bomber damage models, wheeled vehicle shaking and a projectile camera bug
What is new
Sky Odyssey major update (Sept 16): new jets like F-14D, MiG-35 and J-16, Arjun Mk 1 and PzH 2000, new ships and the Darwin Hill map
Nuclear Escalation, Naval Confrontation and Bullet Hell are now permanent modes
What it means for you: Mostly quality-of-life for grinders; the bigger effect is Sky Odyssey's new top-tier jets and rewards for killing abandoned ground vehicles and ships.
Classic mode adds Mordekaiser, Yorick, Hecarim and Lucian
What it means for you: Jungle and mid staples like Lee Sin and Viktor got weaker, while bruisers such as Darius, Sion and Xin Zhao got stronger, so top/jungle bruiser picks are a safer climb this patch. Jinx players may notice a lower win rate.
Augments now steer away from AD-only picks on AP boards and vice versa
Radiant Adaptive Helm and Blue Buff weakened
What was fixed
Taric's passive now activates reliably against Ghost teams and after auto-pairing
Double Up partners no longer end with different placements
Cooking Pot health and Forged a Friend 3-star bugs fixed
Server-crash reduction from a broad code cleanup
What is new
Choncc or Treat event (through Nov 17) with new encounters
Pandora's Items II+ and II++ augments
52 returning cosmetics
What it means for you: If you were climbing with Azir or Kha'Zix, expect slightly fewer top-4s, while AP comps get easier to force. Economy augments pay out less gold, so plan levels more carefully.
Destiny 2: Update 9.7.0.6 (hotfix, Monument of Triumph era)
A tiny maintenance hotfix that only corrects an Eververse store problem; no gameplay or balance changes.
What changed
No weapon, ability or activity balance changes were included in this hotfix.
The previous patch, 9.7.0.5 on October 7, was described by Bungie as a back-end-only change.
The live sandbox is still the one set by the June 9.7.0 'Monument of Triumph' update (reworked activity difficulty/rewards, new armor set bonuses, 25 new Exotic…
What was fixed
Corrected an issue with the Eververse in-game store.
What it means for you: Nothing changes for builds, raids or Trials this week, so current endgame strategies and loadouts remain valid.
ARC Raiders: Store Update 2.2.0 (Frozen Trail season)
Follow-up to the Frozen Trail 2.0 update that retunes the Hydra and ARC aim, adjusts Turbine spawns, smooths the Grappling Hook and fixes lots of Pendola Pass issues.
What changed
Hydra spreads its fire across more targets but hits harder, especially up close.
Some ARC enemies are now less accurate against sliding players.
ARC Turbines spawn more often on Buried City, Riven Tides, Blue Gate and Spaceport and were pulled from standard Dam Battlegrounds.
Pendola Pass has slightly more enemies.
Jumping off a wall run now needs you to hold backward, and Tether Launchers can be repaired mid-raid.
Feats were added, removed and rebalanced for Reward Pass progress; the Expedition Vault tab was removed.
What was fixed
Frigate cargo drops no longer throw players off mid-fall, knock out side riders or burn them with thruster heat.
Fixed spots where players could get stuck in terrain or clip out of bounds in Pendola Pass and near the Emperor.
The 'To the Skies' quest can now be finished on any map, and 'Belly of the Beast' checks for the correct item.
Reduced memory use from loot spawning and Frigate interiors to cut down on crashes.
What is new
Wreck cosmetic set
Builds on Frozen Trail 2.0 (Oct 8): Pendola Pass map, Bully/Skulker/Hydra enemies, Bantam and Stiletto weapons, Grappling Hook and the Outpost base
What it means for you: Sliding is now a stronger defensive move against ARC, and Feat changes shift how fast you climb the Frozen Trail Reward Pass, so plan weekly milestones around the new Feat list.
Swaps anti-cheat to Easy Anti-Cheat, adds a new Bile bug strain, and buffs many weapons and stratagems including the Maxigun and Orbital Airburst.
What changed
Killzone and Halo legendary weapons got stronger base stats to make up for having no attachments.
PLAS-39 Accelerator Rifle reloads faster; Sickle variants heat up slower and cool faster; light-pen shotguns deal more damage.
M-1000 Maxigun lets you move right after firing and staggers harder; Breaching Hammer carries 10 spare charges.
Orbital Airburst Strike has a shorter cooldown and tighter spread; flamethrowers deal more damage.
Eagle Gas Strike can no longer destroy structures other eagle bombs cannot.
What was fixed
Fixed crashes tied to ship management, vehicle customization, SEAF shuttles, the Flak Cannon reload and DirectX 12.
Fixed Bile Titan clipping, Hive Lords leaving combat and Hulk Scorchers damaging themselves.
Fixed Hellbomb availability and the Melta Mine not working on the Vox Engine.
Smoother frame pacing, faster loading and less shader stutter on PC.
What is new
Bile bug strain (Bile Warriors, Spewers, Scavengers) as its own Game Master-controlled faction variant
Easy Anti-Cheat replaces GameGuard
Three new SEAF emotes
What it means for you: Higher-difficulty dives get easier with buffed Maxigun, Orbital Airburst and flamethrowers, and the new Bile strain means bug missions need more anti-acid and long-range plans.
Old School's fourth raid launches for teams of 2 to 8, with branching boss choices and new top-tier gear like Ascension Crossbows, Zorya's Tome and the Obligator.
What changed
Nex's Crush Defence lowered from +60 to +35, making crush weapons better there.
The F2P free-for-all Clan Wars arena now needs 100 total level.
Raid deaths are not safe: a full team wipe sends you to a gravestone outside (75% cheaper until five completions) and Hardcore Ironmen lose status.
PvP Arena Ranked Duels use '1 Def Pure' loadouts this week; new Australian LMS and Bounty Hunter worlds added.
What is new
The Fractured Archive raid (requires While Guthix Sleeps), with picks like Bork or Ezekiel and Xarth or the Dagon'hai Trio
New rewards: Ascension Crossbows, Zorya's Tome, Rondache shield, Obligator, Elemental Fragments and the Zeal prayer upgrade
Archivist's Folio teleport and new lobby tools (Grouping Board, spectating, inventory pings)
What it means for you: Endgame PvM now has a new best-in-slot chase, so expect demand for raid-ready accounts with While Guthix Sleeps done; practice mode is not out yet, so the first runs are risky.
Season Two arrives with solo versions of Moon Hunter Keep and March of Sacrifices, built for one player plus a companion, with optional difficulty modifiers.
What changed
Group mechanics in the two dungeons were reworked so one player can handle them, with ability values retuned for solo play.
Optional 'Meted Misfortunes' modifiers raise monster stats and add abilities; up to three can be stacked on Dauntless difficulty.
Solo clears award Undaunted Crests that scale with difficulty, traded with Veya Thenim in Undaunted Enclaves.
Greymoor and Wolfhunter DLCs became free for all players on October 19.
What was fixed
ZeniMax also posted a separate final fix and compensation grant for the Update 51 Master Crafting Station problem.
What is new
Solo dungeons: Moon Hunter Keep and March of Sacrifices (live Oct 21)
Solo rewards include two-piece monster sets, Nowhere Keys, furnishings and legendary companion gear
Season Two runs until January 27, 2027
What it means for you: Solo players can now farm monster helms and companion gear without a group, and stacking modifiers on Dauntless gives a harder, better-rewarded challenge.
Clash Royale: Balance Update (moved up before the CRL World Finals)
Mid-October balance pass nerfs Cannon Cart, Dart Goblin, Minion Giant and Rune Giant, and buffs Electro Dragon, Flying Machine, Void and Hero Electro Wizard.
What changed
Cannon Cart loses about 5% damage and is much heavier, so Goblins can no longer push it.
Dart Goblin and Minion Giant deal less damage; Rune Giant's enchantments now fade almost instantly and end when she dies.
Electro Dragon hits sooner, Flying Machine and Void deal slightly more damage, and Hero Electro Wizard no longer pauses after his ability.
Skeleton Barrel's death damage is evened out between normal and Evolution forms, and Skeletons spread wider when placed.
Earlier October 6 pass already nerfed Hero Ice Wizard, Barbarian Barrel and Elixir Collector and buffed Lava Hound, Ram Rider and Wall Breakers.
What it means for you: Ladder and Path of Legends decks built around Cannon Cart, Dart Goblin or Rune Giant lose some strength, so it is a good time to test Electro Dragon or Lava Hound decks; Supercell says no extra changes come at the November season start.
Quality-of-life and stability patch: guild renaming, base reconstruction fixes, a rocket ornithopter tweak and caps on Landsraad Mk5 powerpacks.
What changed
Scout ornithopter rocket-pod speed penalty cut from 20% to 10%
Multi-rocket Ancient Way fires slower
Downed players are cleared of negative status effects
Stamina no longer regenerates during Stop and Weirding Step stuns
Landsraad vendor Mk5 Powerpacks capped at 5 per refresh and mission rerolling blocked
What was fixed
Base Reconstruction Tool no longer crashes on large bases
Offline bases no longer burn extra fuel
Several Trials of Aql soft-locks fixed
Item duplication in 'A Sign from Above' fixed
Xbox PC connection bug fixed in hotfix 1.5.15.1
What is new
Guild leaders can rename guilds
Native DualSense support on Steam
What it means for you: Deep Desert ornithopter fights get a bit faster, and Landsraad farmers lose the unlimited powerpack trick. Late-story journeys now give XP properly.
Fix-focused patch that speeds up Infernal Twinblades' Soul skill in dungeons, trims an overlong Super Armor window, and fixes about 25 bugs.
What changed
Infernal Twinblades Greed Bane - Soul second stage casts much faster and grants a Perfect Dodge in online dungeons
Talon Strike and Yaksha Rush Super Armor after a guard break no longer lasts too long
Frost Paper recipe now uses Honeysuckle instead of Cocklebur
What was fixed
Season 4 titles and guild badge claims fixed
Uncut Jade after Taiping Mausoleum challenges fixed
Serene Breeze behavior in Arena fixed
Controller L3 button works again
What it means for you: Twinblades players get a smoother dungeon rotation, and the shorter Super Armor makes some Arena trades fairer. Version 2.3 content drops October 25.
Delta Force: October 15 Update (Polaris Patrol + balance)
Adds the Polaris Patrol mini-mode, nerfs Stinger healing and Shepherd's Sonic Trap, and reworks Detonation ranked scoring for Legend and above.
What changed
Stinger healing cut hard (lower heal per second, shorter duration, heal stops when hit)
Shepherd Sonic Trap does less damage, costs more and has a smaller hitbox
Rover's Clover gets damage immunity windows and team-stacking rules in Operations
Detonation guns: Desert Eagle and .357 buffed; M700, FD-12, Thompson and MK4 nerfed; K437/MDR cost more, AS Val cheaper
Detonation economy and bomb timer adjusted
Legend+ ranked points now reward winning over personal stats; queues there may be longer
What was fixed
Fixed unfair spawn and camping spots at Sparkling Empress Hotel on Layali Grove
Fixed spots on AZ3 where players got stuck outside the map
Fixed Operations enemies sometimes dropping empty loot
Fixed overlapping Sonic Traps that could not be destroyed
What is new
Polaris Patrol mini-mode (play as Desmoulins or his Adjutants) in Space City and AZ3
Petite Madame Rampage event and limited Haavk attachments
7-day login reward and Sunken Appearance draw
What it means for you: Heal-heavy Stinger squads lose a lot of sustain, and high-rank Detonation players now climb mainly by winning rounds, so team play matters more than K/D.
The final Black Ops 7 season gets a weapon balance pass that weakens the TR51 Para, VMP and aggressive shotguns, plus a short three-week ranked sprint.
What changed
TR51 Para nerfed (slower fire rate, less long-range damage) and VMP loses a lot of range
Shotguns like SG-12, Echo 12 and M10 Breacher handle slower for rushing players
Gremlin, KRS 7.62, REV-46 and Dravec 45 improved
Ranked: bottom-half losses cost more SR, and outscoring higher-ranked players earns bonus SR
Exposure returns to the Ranked map pool
What was fixed
Void Claw exploit and Web Mother duplication bug on Rex Infernus fixed
XM325 ammo bug with the Titan Wield stock fixed
Several Kowakujo exploits, relic/reward issues and Pack-a-Punch camo saving fixed
What is new
New maps Quantum and Bloodstead, plus Roadkill, Inferno and Lost as limited-time maps
T.E.D.D. Trials and Hordepoint modes
New weapons: VMP, TR51 Para, Arcblade, Roc 20mm
Zombies: Tenshu survival map and Directed Mode for Rex Infernus (final Zombies update)
What it means for you: The ranked season is only three weeks long and losses hurt more if you finish near the bottom, so climbing has to happen fast. Players who leaned on the TR51 Para or shotgun rushing should switch loadouts.
Baba is nerfed across the board while Deadman Danny gets big buffs to health, gun damage and abilities.
What changed
Baba nerfed: less bullet and spirit resistance, longer cooldowns, and a weaker Baba's Brew barrier
Baba's Granny Long Legs aerial melee movement toned down
Deadman Danny buffed: more health and regen, higher gun damage
Danny's Chimera Mk1, Strix Salvo and Close the Deal all scale better; Rocket Jumping costs less health
Radiant Regeneration item heals slightly less from spirit
What it means for you: Baba is no longer the easy pick she was, while Deadman Danny is now a stronger option for climbing. Only two heroes and one item changed, so most of the meta stays the same.
Season 06 adds the Halloween map Haunted Hollow, a harsher end-game gas, shorter ranked season and repeated weapon tuning aimed at the AR and SMG meta.
What changed
AN-94 nerfed; M15 MOD 0, XM325, Sokol 545 and others buffed; TR51 Para fire rate cut then partly restored
Gas damage ramps up the longer you stay in it, and helicopters are disabled in the final circle
C4 has a longer detonation delay and cannot be used in Last Stand
Fewer supply drones per match, with fewer legendary crates
Ranked: three weeks of normal play then Ranked Series; higher entry costs in Diamond and above
What was fixed
Black Market self-revive stacking exploit fixed
Bank Vault damage-avoidance exploit and helicopter impact-damage bug fixed
Tactical Raft spawn bug on Avalon fixed
Ghost Train power-ups no longer carry over incorrectly
What is new
Haunted Hollow Halloween map with Ghost Train, pumpkin power-ups and a low-gravity zone
Giant Infected limited-time mode
New weapons: VMP, TR51 Para, Arcblade, Roc 20mm
Last season to play Black Ops Royale
What it means for you: Ranked SR is harder to gain at Diamond and above, and the season is short, so Top 250 and Iridescent pushes need to happen quickly. Playing deep in the gas is now much riskier.
Update 43.2 makes ranked and normal vehicle spawns match, reworks quick-chat markers and lobbies, and adds new controller presets on console.
What changed
Normal and Ranked now share the same vehicle types and spawn counts on most maps
Motor Gliders: 6 per map (2 fixed with fuel, 4 random without)
Quick-chat radial reworked with new 'get in' and 'move' calls; item markers only show within 300m
Squad host can start matchmaking without everyone pressing ready
No weapon balance changes
What was fixed
Parachute now opens at the right altitude after jumping from the plane
Stun Gun victims die immediately at 0 HP when knockdowns are off

What is new
SLB: Dawnbreakers of Rondo night-survival event
PUBG x Bentley collaboration
Two new console controller presets (PUBG Standard and Shooter Standard)
What it means for you: Ranked rotations now get the same vehicle availability as normal games, which changes how squads plan long rotations. Console players get the update on Oct 22, a week after PC.
First big post-launch patch: fixes Ranked Versus placement putting players in the wrong division, plus stability work and many Campaign, Horde Siege and Versus bug fixes.
What changed
Spawn protection now ends when you hip-fire

Objectives now take priority over nearby weapon pickups in Demolition and Crucible
What was fixed
Ranked placement matches now place players in the correct skill division
Campaign War Journal, achievement and co-op progress tracking fixed
Horde Siege: Corpser can no longer become unkillable and players no longer spawn without ammo
Versus: Lancer Mk1 melee now kills, Breechshot headshots register, and capturing Conquest zones from outside is blocked
Crash and memory fixes for long sessions
What is new
Option to mute Campaign collectible chimes
What it means for you: Players misplaced by the broken ranked placements should see ranks settle correctly now. Missing campaign collectibles must be re-collected manually, since they are not auto-granted.
The ranked map pool rotates (Bind and Corrode in, Ascent and Split out) and a private per-map Map Rating arrives for Competitive and Premier.
What changed
Competitive and Deathmatch map pool: Bind and Corrode added, Ascent and Split removed
Corrode reworked: shorter defender rotations into both sites, a reshaped Mid, and a tweaked A plant zone
New Map Rating gives each map a private 0-500 score and C-to-S grade based on your recent results
Performance Score now weighs damage, kills, deaths and first bloods more heavily, with a Chamber-specific adjustment
No agent or weapon balance changes this patch
What was fixed
The Warden's scope crosshair no longer drifts out of line during full-auto fire
Footstep and body-fall sounds now play correctly inside Fog of War
Gun bounce audio triggers reliably again
The Masterful accolade now shows the correct requirement
What is new
Map Rating feature in Agent Select, End of Game and Career
Redesigned queue and mode select screen
New Career navigation bar (Rank Legacy, Accolades, Map Rating)
What it means for you: Two maps you may have practiced are gone from ranked, so anyone who relied on Ascent or Split needs to learn Bind and the reworked Corrode. Map Rating makes it easy to see which maps are dragging your RR down.
Hearthstone: Patch 37.0 (Reign of the Black Empire)
Patch 37.0 sets up the 135-card Reign of the Black Empire expansion (live Oct 20) with the four Old Gods and a new Assemble keyword.
What changed
No card buffs or nerfs in this patch (the last balance changes were in 36.4.2 on Sep 3)
Arena runs reset on Oct 13 with a new card pool that includes the new set
New Journal hub with a Journey story campaign; achievements renamed Feats

What was fixed

What is new

Legendary quest chain from Ranked Standard games (Oct 23 - Nov 3)
Pre-release Tavern Brawl (Oct 13-20)
Diablo crossover event and Tavern Brawl starting Nov 10
What it means for you: A new expansion means the Standard ladder meta is wide open, so new decks will rise fast and early balance patches are likely. Arena players start a fresh season.
Season 5 adds the Vegas Strip and Area 51 maps, four new weapons, officially launches Ranked Battle Royale and makes big anti-air changes.
What changed
Anti-air buffed a lot (faster, more accurate AA shells), while helicopter rocket pods and light rockets are weaker
Tanks and IFVs heal slower, and rear hits do 2.5x damage
Controller recoil compensation cut from 11% to 5%
Enemy footsteps are easier to hear and tell apart from friendly ones
REDSEC: faster armor plating, rebalanced class training, and many guns need one extra bullet against armor

Spectator camera and scoreboard issues fixed
Repeated reload inputs no longer delay reload sounds
What is new
Maps: Vegas Strip and Area 51
Weapons: Mk 24, RSPR, Z84M, ELR-40
Rapid Royale and Ranked Battle Royale (REDSEC)
Dead Space event with the Marker Incursion PvE mode (Oct 20 - Nov 10)
What it means for you: Air vehicles are much easier to shoot down, so pilots will find it harder to dominate. Ranked Battle Royale is now official, which opens a real ladder to climb in REDSEC.
Patch 12.1.5 adds a single-boss raid, the Labyrinth of Kindo'jan mega-delve, Aqir Invasions and a Season 2 mid-season gear refresh.
What changed
Ascendant Venomstones let fully upgraded Season 2 gear go higher in item level

Labyrinth of Kindo'jan nine-chamber mega-delve with Mythic-level rewards
Aqir Invasions hourly world events in Eversong and Zul'Aman
Quel'Thalas and Zul'Aman story conclusion
What it means for you: Gearing gets faster with the crest cap lifted and a new item-level ceiling via Venomstones, so pushing Mythic+ keys and Heroic/Mythic raid now pays off more. A new 3600-rating goal gives high-key players something fresh to chase.
Patch 7.57 tunes the Crucible of the Unbroken, launches its first ranking season on October 25, and starts same-region matchmaking on Japanese data centers.
What changed
Crucible of the Unbroken remembers your chosen mode and auto-assigns familiars to battlehorns when you have three or fewer.
Crucible scoring: elite kills now give 800 points (up from 625) and the Sleepless Survival bonus jumps from 375 to 1,000.
Beastmaster pets set to 'Stay' now turn to face their target before using Tempered Release or Parting Blow.
Same-region matchmaking now lets Japanese players group across logical data centers in the same physical location; other regions later.
What was fixed
Beastmaster Capture now works on Dullahans, and Calamity no longer sometimes deals zero damage at range.
Swapping familiars during Snarl's Cover no longer cancels damage from simultaneous enemy attacks.
Fixed a great wisp knockback that could freeze the enemy and stall the fight.
Companion chocobos no longer attack the wrong target when you switch enemies.
What is new
Crucible Rankings Season 1 (Oct 25 to late Nov 2026): Third Degree mode, best of last three attempts per board, top 300 per data center earn rewards
What it means for you: Anyone chasing Crucible leaderboard rewards should practise now: the higher elite and survival points change which routes score best before Season 1 opens on October 25.
Launches the Red Moon Unleashed Halloween event, stops Escalation from eating tokens, doubles the Conflict rank cap to 200, and buffs rifles.
What changed
Escalation no longer spends tokens to start; you just need a minimum balance, and failed runs keep tokens

Conflict rank cap raised from 100 to 200, with currency per rank-up and milestone caches

World of Tanks: Update 2.4.1: Season of Action (+ Micropatch 2.4.1_2)
Adds the Babylon: Dark Tower Halloween PvE event, brings Nebelburg into Random Battles, and changes matchmaking so high-tier players rarely repeat maps.
What changed
Matchmaker cuts map repeats for Tier VIII-XI sessions
Random events now enabled for everyone because of the unified queue
Nebelburg reworked for Random Battles; Himmelsdorf, Ruinberg, Siegfried Line, Fisherman's Bay and Overlord rebalanced

Black Signal 7v7 mode (mid-November) and clan Maneuvers with first Tier XI vehicles (November)
What it means for you: Good window to grind credits and the Eclipse reward; map variety at high tiers improves, and clans should prepare for Tier XI Maneuvers.

What changed
No hero balance changes in the Season 10.5 notes
Gorr gets a custom targeting sensitivity setting for Shadow Harvest

What it means for you: The competitive meta is unchanged, so whatever was working at the start of Season 10 still works. Players chasing the Gold rank reward have until the end of 10.5.
A stability-focused title update with no gameplay tuning; it fixes Ultimate Team errors and makes Career Mode transfers and youth generation more realistic.
What changed
EA confirmed there are no gameplay balance or tuning changes in this update.
Career Mode now generates fewer high-rated and high-potential players.
Bidding far above a club's asking price no longer guarantees an instant accept; the AI still responds.

Free agents can now be signed in Career Mode even when the transfer window is closed or the market is turned off.

Overwatch: Season 5: A Grim Doctrine (Reign of Talon)
Season 5 moves Sombra to Support with a full rework, reworks Roadhog, shrinks hitscan bullets and adds the new Escort map Grimsvotn.
What changed
Sombra is now a Support: Hack removed, new Weaken debuff halves enemy damage and healing
Roadhog reworked with a two-shot Scrap Gun and a new projectile-eating Trash Compactor
Hitscan bullets are smaller and hitboxes were reworked across most heroes, so aim needs to be more precise

Mystery Madness: Graveyard Games Halloween event and power-up Arcade mode
Halloween versions of Hollywood, Lijang Tower and Chateau Guillard (through Nov 3)
Past battle passes (Seasons 1-15) can be progressed again
What it means for you: Smaller hitscan bullets reward clean aim, so DPS players who relied on generous hitboxes may lose some SR. Sombra mains have to relearn her entirely as a Support.
Latest hotfix for the Forbidden Rites league fixes blocked Ritual encounters and an unenterable area, and adds a low-VRAM texture setting.
What changed
New Texture Quality option helps PCs with little video memory run the game.
League context (0.5.5, Sep 2): Ritual altars now sit on boss fights and escalate into boss waves, with Tribute spent on Unique items.
League context: Trial of Chaos can be paused and resumed, rooms have reward chests, modifiers are easier, and rewards are limited to currency and Soul Cores.

What was fixed
A hiding spot inside the cave near the top Roshan pit removed
Unsellable items could be marked for sale early; fixed
Tranquil Boots now go on cooldown when disassembled from the stash

A new anniversary season adds Prime Evil 'Splinter' powers, Waking Nightmare dungeons, Soul Splinter jewelry, Mythic Unique crafting and account-shared War Plans progress.
What changed

Fortnite: Chapter 7 Season 4: Override (season launch)
The Override season lets whoever reaches an Override Console change the rules for the whole lobby, plus Sonic-themed content and new crossover weapons.

Sprite Garden mode
Sonic the Hedgehog Battle Pass with Tails as a Sidekick
What it means for you: Matches are less predictable because a single Override can change the rules mid-game, so ranked players should learn to contest consoles early. Epic's detailed balance notes were not reachable, and this season launch is about 63 days old.
A small PC fix for frame-rate drops introduced by the previous patch, plus updated graphics driver advice ahead of the Ascendance expansion.
What changed
No weapon, monster or balance changes were included.
Capcom recommends NVIDIA 581.57+ or AMD 25.9.1+ drivers for stability.

What was fixed

What it means for you: Finding the right quest is quicker with task search, but there is no balance shift affecting raids or progression. Note: this was the newest official notes reachable; newer patches may exist on the official site.
No game matches that search. Try another name, or see all games.
Patch notes: questions and answers
Where do these summaries come from?
We read each developer's official patch notes and explain the main points in our own words, with a link to the full official notes under every game. Small hotfixes that change nothing for players are left out. We check every game weekly.
Does a new patch affect my boost?
Usually not. Your booster plays the game as it is on the day, and the price you paid stays the same. If a patch changes ranks, resets progress or closes content you ordered, we tell you on your private order page and agree the next step with you before continuing.
What does "ranked impact" mean?
It is our quick rating of how much a patch shakes up ranked or endgame: big means a rank reset, map pool change or major balance pass; medium means meaningful balance changes; small means mostly fixes and quality-of-life changes.
When is the next big update for my game?
See our Coming Soon timeline for new seasons, raids and expansions with confirmed, expected or estimated dates, and the services we will offer for them.
Can you help me adapt to a new patch?
Yes. Coaching is the fastest way to learn a new meta: a high-rank coach watches you play and explains what changed. Find coaching for your game on its game page, or ask Boost Up AI what fits.
