Information on Gang Beasts Valentine's Update
The Gang Beasts Valentine’s update (build 1.0.4) is available now as a free download for PS4, Windows, macOS, and Steam supported Linux platforms (SteamOS and Ubuntu), the update has a new lighthouse stage, a series of Valentine’s themed costume parts (a small gift to the Gang Beasts community for their patience and support on the anniversary of the release of the 0.0.0 public pre-alpha builds of the game).
The key feature of the Valentine’s update is a significantly revised matching service built to optimise and scale the capacity of official game servers and host a high number of concurrent online game sessions than previous iterations but the update also has a number of other modifications, optimisations, and fixes made to menus, stages, costumes, messaging.
