- Patch Notes - 6/19/2026 - 19 June 2026
New Features and ChangesThe Template Editor now has a Tooltip Name field. Fill it in to set a default name tooltip for any objects with this template.

When creating a new container, click the cube icon next to the Model selection button to switch to image shape mode.There’s now a search bar on the Select and Import Resource dialoguesWhen joining a game, packages now verify that all files are identical between the host and the joining player to prevent errors from differing versions of mods.The Phase UI has been improved to be more readableWhen looking at games in the lobby, the nam…
- Patch Notes - 5/6/2026 - 7 May 2026
Beta Branch Patch NotesHotseat Mode You can now add local players to any game session. Just click “Add Hotseat Player” in the player list in the upper right and give them a name. You can manually switch to one of your hotseat players at any time by clicking the head icon to the right of their name. If you’re using TTP’s built-in turn system, you’ll automatically switch to the appropriate hotseat player whenever it’s their turn. Whenever you switch seats, you’ll see a dialog checking to make sure the new player is ready to take over. While it’s up, info private to either player will be hidden. Hotseat works in both multiplayer and editor, so you’re covered whether you’re playing a few hands yourself, or have two players around the same computer in an otherwise online game. Other New Features and ChangesColor tint now works for Cards and TokensContainers now have a “Take Flipped” option,…
- Patch Notes - 4/8/2026 - 8 April 2026
New Feature: StickersWhether you’re making a Legacy game or marking up a map, you’ll want to know about our new Sticker tool. You’ll find Stickers on the upper left toolbar – they share a slot with the Text tool, so hover over that “T” and click the star icon to open the Sticker panel. All you need to make a sticker is an image – and, as is usually the case, you can use either a Texture file, or a web image. You also have the option to name your sticker, and/or to modify its size. The size will default to a width of 3 and a proportional height based on that width. If you want to keep things proportional, just modify the Width field, and then hit the arrow button to the left of it to automatically set the height based on it. You can create stickers in Editor or in Multiplayer (though you won’t be able to import new textures in multiplayer; you’ll have to use one already in the package, o…

- The future of Tabletop Playground - 15 December 2025
I know it's been quite a while since the last update, but the lack of public activity doesn't mean that nothing has happened: I'm excited to share that Dire Wolf Digital has acquired Tabletop Playground! You may also know them from board games like Clank! and Dune: Imperium or digital adaptations like Root and Ark Nova. In this post I want to explain what this means for existing players: The game will continue to get updated, and you will of course receive all future updates if you already own the game. We have a shared vision on how to move forward: I've been working with the team from Dire Wolf and I'll continue to be involved in developing the game further. With Dire Wolf's support, we've been able to deliver some significant improvements. No existing functionality or mods will be removed as a result of the acquisition. We're about to start a beta test with the new version. The full…
- In-game Editor Update - 4 April 2024
This update is all about the in-game editor (also known as preview mode). There are several changes and updates that remove the need to return to the main editor view for most uses: • Add "New Template" button in object library for edited package in preview mode • Add "New Folder" button in object library for edited package • Add buttons on templates in object library for edited package to allow editing, duplicating, and removing templates • Allow Drag&Drop for templates in edited package to move them between folders, in object library and main editor window • You can now edit templates of objects from other packages. Before modifying, you'll need to save them as new templates in the edited package. • Editing scale, color and other properties of templates that also exist as object properties during preview mode is now more consistent • Changed buttons in preview mode to "Close", "Save a…
- Unreal 5 upgrade - 17 February 2024
The Unreal 5 upgrade is here! This update moves Tabletop Playground to Unreal Engine 5, future-proofing the game and improving the foundation for further development. While most of the changes are under the hood, you will also see lots of improvements and a couple of fixes to long-standing issues that weren't possible to resolve before: • Apple Silicon support: The game now runs much better on recent Macs by natively supporting M1/M2/M3 chips • The mod.io UI accessible from the main menu has been updated and is now available on Mac and Linux as well • Allow hiding floor in non-3D maps: renamed "Lighting" in session options to "Environment", moved "Set Background" button to the environment dialog and added "Hide Floor" checkbox in the same dialog • Improved physics stability in some situations like stacking thin objects such as cards • The tablet browser version has been updated, improvi…

This is a smaller update which brings a couple of interface and convenience improvements: • The package list in the new game screen now shows images in addition to package names • Packages in the new game screen can now be sorted by last played or by name • Add a new option for object templates, available in the generic pane in the editor: "Ground Access". None by default, you can configure ground objects to allow zooming and the context menu from the regular cursor. • Players can now quickly measure in any cursor mode by holding the ping key (tab by default) • A new "Camera Acceleration" option in the advanced interface settings allows you to make the camera movement more smooth (but less precise) • The coordinates window now uses the measure unit configured in the session (inches by default) for position and size. Previously it always used cm. • Fix: Saving a template in the editor wh…
- June Update: Spectators and Game Masters - 29 June 2023
The June update comes with two new player types: spectators and game masters! Read the full changelog below or find out more in the knowledge base: https://tabletop-playground.com/knowledge-base/spectators-and-game-masters/ • Players can now switch to being a spectator in the player options. Spectators don't occupy a player slot, they cannot interact with objects on the table, and other players can't see their cursor. They are still able to use the chat and voice chat, though. By default, spectators can't see any hidden information but you can change that in the session permissions, allowing them to see cards of all players, peek under card stacks, and use the container and stack explorers. • Added new permissions: You can disable spectators completely or allow spectators to see hidden information. • In the session options under player slots, you can now assign slots to be game masters.…
- Hotfix - 4 June 2023
• Game phase setups were not stored correctly in saved states • Fix crash that could occur when exiting the game or switching to/from main menu
- May Update: Custom lights - 30 May 2023
The May update has landed with custom lights and table scripting support: • You can now add lights to objects in the editor. There's a new pane in the lower left (collapsed by default) that allows you to add point lights and spotlights. Point lights emit light into all directions equally and don't cast shadows, spotlights have a direction and a configurable light cone radius. You can also specify the color and intensity for both light types. Lights on objects can be switched on or off in-game from the context menu. Scripting • Introduce new class `StaticObject` as a superclass of `GameObject`. Static objects aren't interactive and don't have physics applied to them, but otherwise they work very similar to other game objects so most methods from `GameObject` have moved to `StaticObject`. This doesn't affect existing scripts, they will continue to work as before. Currently the only static…
- April Hotfix - 11 April 2023
This small hotfix brings two changes: • When a player left a game and re-joined, whispering with them again would caused a new whisper tab to open. With this update, the original whisper tab is re-used. • Fix issue that could cause players to disconnect from multiplayer, causing them to drop out of running games
- March Update: Turn system and chat tabs - 29 March 2023
This update brings a new turn system and adds whisper tabs to the chat, alongside the usual fixes and scripting improvements: • The new turn system allows you to create phases to keep track of the state of your game and restrict interactions to players whose turn it is. Find out more about rounds, phases, and turns in the knowledge base: https://tabletop-playground.com/knowledge-base/turns-phases-and-rounds/ • The chat now supports whisper tabs: When you send a whisper message to another player or receive a whisper message, a new chat tab will open. You can have your private conversation in that chat. This keeps all messages with a player together and doesn't require you to use the `/w` command to whisper. The old behavior with both public and private messages in the main chat tab is still supported, you can disable tabs in the advanced interface options. • Show template names in dialog…
- February Update: In-game mod browser - 22 February 2023
The February update has landed! The main new feature is a new in-game mod browser that allows you to find, subscribe to and unsubscribe from game packages on mod.io without using the Steam browser or an external browser. As usual, there's also a number of further improvements and fixes: • Add in-game mod browser: from the main menu, a comprehensive UI allows you to browse available mods and subscribe or rate, or manage your existing subscriptions.
