- High Precision Tempo - 27 June 2024
We've released a new update to Groove Gunner! This update allows the BPM of custom songs to be expressed as a decimal, allowing for songs to be more easily and accurately mapped when the number of beats per minute isn't an exact whole number. This will make it much easier to account for small timing differences or a drift in tempo with live performances or studio recordings that didn't use a metronome.
- New Release - Japanese Language and Bug Fixes - 24 October 2023
Changes Japanese translation of the main game is now complete! Some Spanish translations were added or fixed. Fixed color sliders showing incorrect values. Remove erroneous double target in Searching for Freedom.
- New Release - Bug Fixes and Song Editor Improvements - 21 June 2022
Changes Fixed an issue with bullets spawning. A bullet spawning at the moment audio playback started could be spawned twice resulting in incorrect play stats. In the song editor we now force software cursor to avoid the cursor not showing in certain cases (namely in Linux). In the song editor, pressing space to start/stop song should work even when other UI elements have focus. Song editor now shows bullet/target grid by default when you create a new song. Frame rate is now limited in the song editor and matches the frame limit you have set in the game. Fixed a bug where you could hit back on song selection quickly after enter song selection causing both a song preview to play and the main menu music to play at the same time. Fixed an issue with leaderboards rendering before results are populated. Fixed a bug where the game would soft-lock if you tried to import an invalid zip file to c…
- Separate Shield Settings. - 28 April 2022
Added the option to adjust each hand's shield separately. Minor bug fixes.
- February 20 Patch Notes - 20 February 2022
Updates Auto Groove Cam - Angles have been changed to only use fixed angles or first person angles. Some of the automated angles weren't showing the grid and it was hard to tell what the player was shooting or blocking. The angle change delay was also lengthened to cut down on visual noise and confusion. Skipping Animations - There is now text at the bottom of the player stand telling you when you can hold a trigger to skip some animations. The functionality was always there but we forgot to tell players! When selecting your color preference on first play, the buttons now have a selected state that is less confusing for selecting your preference. Got rid of a redundant rank score text during end of song. There were 2 numbers displaying the same value.
- February 13 Patch Notes - 13 February 2022
Added description to the global leaderboard. Added description to the ranking screen when rank wasn't improved to explain why.

Fixed a bug where groove overlay song information was not populating with song name, artist name and difficulty name. Fixed the "Import Song" dialog not showing when importing a song in the custom song browser menu. Fixed a bug where difficulty buttons in the practice menu were enabled even if a custom song didn't have that difficulty mapped.
- Difficulty Button Bug Fix - 11 February 2022
Fixed a bug that switched to the previous difficulty on song change if you hadn't already beat the currently selected difficulty.

- Groove Gunner has Left Early Access! - 10 February 2022
We’re very excited to announce that Groove Gunner has left Early Access! Thank you again to all of our players for the feedback and behind the scenes testing. This has been especially helpful for those working on the beta branches and most recently for the launch of the Custom Song Browser, Online Library, and Song Editor Integration. Kudos to those who not only tested the game, but streamed and shared it with their communities. Also, we can’t say enough for those that have invested countless hours using the editor, giving suggestions, and developing maps that can now be shared directly through the in-game browser. All that being said, we really feel that although there is always more to do, a solid foundation is in place for releasing the game to more players and helping it grow. LET'S GET OUR GROOVE ON!
- Minor Bug Fixes - 9 February 2022
Fixed a bug where the song stats panel would be visible over the menu after quitting a custom song.
- New Achievement and Bug Fix - 3 February 2022
We added a new achievement! We fixed a bug in the song editor that would show the previously loaded songs information instead of the song that was just loaded.
- Squashing Bugs! - 28 January 2022
Bugs Fixed Fixed a few bugs with the preview buttons in the custom song browser and they should now behave as intended and reset if you leave the browser and come back. Fixed a bug where a song that wasn't selected would start playing in the custom song browser after 30 seconds. Fixed an issue that would cause the joysticks to scroll very fast through songs and not stop. This fix may not work if you have edited your SteamVR controller bindings. The bindings can either be reset to the games default, or you can put the missing bindings in yourself. The settings menu should tell you which bindings are missing if any.

- Song Editor and Game Bug Fixes - 11 January 2022
Changed/fixed song editor so songs can be uploaded, exported, or edited after all difficulties are completed. Completed difficulties still can't have edits to targets or bullets but you can edit the stage show. Fixed a few issues where song editor components had errors during initialization. Fix target/bullet sounds in editor (no bullet sounds when simulate player is off, 'Perfect' sounds when simulate player is on) There are still target sounds when simulate is off currently, this may change in a future update. Fixed the positioning and rotation of the song stats panel after a featured song has been played.
