Here are the patch notes for the latest patch to Midair 2, Demo, and Playtest. All versions of the game are the same build and play together - regardless of what version players have downloaded.
We also recognize that older patch notes were inconsistently posted to the main Midair 2 and the Midair 2 Playtest pages. At the bottom of this post, you can find links to the 22 previous patch notes starting from November 2023 (when we began Steam Playtest) onwards, especially useful for players who have been following the project for a while.
We will post across both Midair 2 and Playtest versions until Early Access launch, and then will transition to posting only on the main page.
Also below is a missed patch note from February 23, 2026
