- Update 7.30 - V1.0.466 - 30 July 2026
Dear players,The reason there was no update yesterday is that the dev team has been planning tuning changes based on recent feedback. Today, we are prioritizing a major performance optimization update and a major balance adjustment update.Unlike many other games, the core of Pass the Fear's combat thrill comes from the fact that every bullet is calculated independently, and most of our triggers do not have hard limits. As players spend more time with the game, unlock higher difficulties, obtain stronger Relics, and reach the Secret Realm, more and more "absurd" builds have started to appear. We are very happy that players are experiencing the full range of our game design.However, the problems have also become clear. Recently, we have seen more and more players reporting stuttering, freezes, crashes, and lost saves in our community, on forums, and in review sections. This has made us ta…
