- A Fresh Lobby, 70 More Places to Find Loot - 18 September 2026
Ahoy, pirates!Plenty in this one. The lobby looks different, there is more to find on every level, and we went through a long list of reports. Here is the lot.TweaksNew lobby look. The interface got reworked and section cards now have their own previews, so you can see what waits on a level before you commit. The waiting text reads "Waiting for host" instead of something vaguer, and the copied code confirmation shows up on the button rather than a window covering your text70 new item spawn points across 15 levels, on furniture and on the floorElevator call levers are on every level now. The brake levers are gone, and with them went the ability to send the lift plummetingThe stats window appears faster at the tableBug fixesElevatorsPlayers no longer fall through the lift while someone else cranks the winchItems interact with the lift properlyItems sitting in the cart behave when riding t…
- A Working Tutorial, More Loot and a Store That Behaves - 14 September 2026
Ahoy, pirates!Small patch today, mostly aimed at the first hour. One of these was stopping new players before they even got going, so it went out fast.TweaksA yellow marker now points at the cauldron on the first two levels. It disappears the moment someone picks it upThe elevator winch takes two and a half times fewer turns to crankBalance and level designFixed the quota curve. After the new location order went in, the amount you had to hand in could drop compared to the previous level, which made progression feel like it was going backwards. It climbs steadily the whole way through nowAdded more loot spawn points on levels 3, 4 and 8. Those levels had fewer valid spots than the item pool needed, so a chunk of it simply never appeared. There is noticeably more to carry out nowRebuilt the store around the new progression. Prices were jumping around between levels, and cards that had alr…
- Our Window is Broken. The Work Isn't - 11 September 2026
Ahoy, pirates.We love making games. We know exactly how to make Last Pirates better, and we work on it every single day. But some days, things get in the way.This morning a strike landed right next to our office in Kyiv. The window of the room where part of our team works is broken, the whole team is still shaken, and one of our colleagues was hurt, her arm is bandaged now. Everyone is alive, and that is what matters most.So here is our one small ask. If you try the game and it clicks with you even a little, hold on to it, don't rush the refund button. We ship fixes constantly, and big updates are already on the way. Give them a chance to reach you.Thank you for the support. It means more today than usual.— Last Pirates Team 🧡
- MAJOR UPDATE: The Statues Are Awake, and the Head Crab Has Changed Shape - 10 September 2026
Ahoy, pirates!A new enemy, a monster rebuilt from the ground up, new toys, achievements, and a very long list of changes.Not everything valuable wants to be picked upOne of them is already sitting in your levels. It looks like treasure, holds perfectly still, and waits for someone greedy enough to crack it open. What climbs out will grab you and drag you off, and only a friend can pull you loose.The other one never pretends. It circles the room from above, picks its moment, and you only learn what it brought once it commits.The Head Crab is not a spider crab anymoreWe tore it down and rebuilt it. New model, new look while it's clamped to your head, a dedicated animation for the leap, new sounds, a fresh screen vignette, and different loot when you finally get it off.It's a jellyfish now. Plenty of you asked for an arachnophobia option, so we took the spider out entirely. Nothing crawly,…
- Last Pirates: Die Together is Now Steam Deck Verified - 10 September 2026
Ahoy, pirates!We are happy to report that Last Pirates: Die Together is officially Steam Deck Verified. Which means you can now play on a train, on a plane, or on a deserted island if that is where life has taken you. Just download it first and keep an eye on that battery. That Verified badge means the game runs properly on Deck straight away. Controls are mapped and work as intended, the text is readable without squinting, and performance holds up without you digging through settings first. Just install and play. We spent the last few patches clearing out the Deck specific issues you reported, keyboard and navigation bugs included, so this one belongs to everyone who sent those in. If you play on Deck, we would love to hear how it feels. And if something still acts up, our Discord is the fastest way to reach us. Take us with you,— Last Pirates Team 🧡
