Condo Hub
Condo browsing now has a physical location! Join friends’ and public players’ Condos through the Condo Hub, located in the Tower. There are 68 doorways that display all currently open Condos, options to enter your own Condo, and a directory list to easily find your friends or active Condos.
You can connect to the Condo Hub through any Plaza or through the menu!
The Condo Hub features different styled doorways based on the Condo map that is being hosted.
Friends-only Condos also show up in the Condo Hub, making it much easier to find your friend's Condos!
Don't worry, you can also adjust your Canvas settings in the hub as well.
We put a lot of effort into making this Condo Hub immersive and fun! When Condos are busy, you'll notice different sounds and visuals to represent that! This is part of our goal to connect more areas of the game together, rather than keeping them separated into menus.
Accelerate: Riptide Retreat
A new Accelerate map is now available to play! Get ready for exciting hillside turns, long stretches of relaxing sandy beaches, and dangerous jumps across the docks!
January/February Plaza Update
Sweet Suites got a fresh new coat of paint and was remodeled.
The theater now has a more visible sign!
Tower Glove & General Building Improvements/Fixes
Condo Tools have been packed into the all new Tower Glove!
Now you’ll have more space in your hotbar, and easier access to each tool. The Tower Glove displays the features of selected items conveniently on its screen!
The Tower Glove also comes with improvements to all the tools. Tower Glove is the next step for us to add more building tools that are easier for everyone to use.
