1.2.0 Update

We’re turning on bots in public matchmaking

When the public queue is quiet, bots fill empty slots so you can get into a match instead of waiting forever. They play as Runners and Seekers - they do tasks, hunt, and can escape through the portal. This is an experimental, temporary rollout. We currently plan to keep it through the end of September 15. After that, we may turn it off, tweak it, or keep it depending on how it feels. Jump in, try a few matches, and tell us how it goes. Thanks for playing.

Private lobbies stay unchanged. You can still create a private lobby and play with friends the same way as before.

Other updates in the package:

  • 16:10 displays are supported — matching resolutions are listed in video settings

  • Any party member can invite friends into the lobby, not only the leader
