• Demo Hotfix: Speed & Acceleration Adjusted - 13 March 2026

  According to player feedback, speed and acceleration have been decreased compared to the "Gotta Go Faster" patch; all pickups have been balanced accordingly. Speed and acceleration are still higher than they were in the pre-patch version of the Demo.

• Demo Updated: "Gotta Go Faster" Patch! - 12 March 2026

  Faster Movement After listening to your legendary feedback on the Demo, we've adjusted the game's movement system - it should feel much faster now! Acceleration has been increased - this applies to running on the ground, being in the air, using boost, entering wind tunnels, and, most importantly, when swinging using the grappling hook. All pickups have been balanced accordingly. Gravity and fall speed have also been turned up. which should help with getting that "floaty" feeling some of you have reported. That said, we made sure not to increase this aspect too much to prevent situations where you can't maneuver in the air because the gravity is too high. Bug Fixes Apart from that, we've fixed multiplayer bugs where players wouldn't load into a match, and the matchmaking timer would get stuck at "00:00." We applied fixes to game states that caused these bugs. Update the demo in your Stea…
