Walkabout Mini Golf News

Gather round, putters!

For the very first time, putt across course greens and ride synth-filled rails in our Synthabout Bundle, offering players 20% off Walkabout Mini Golf and Synth Riders base games till May 17!


But that's not all. To celebrate our bundle, we're going back up into the mountains and returning to Shangri-La La La, our special remix of the course Shangri-La, created by our very own composer, Chris Reyman. So search for the Walkabout Mini Golf music pack in Synth Riders, and tee off in very different way!

Be sure to get in quickly though, as when the bundle ends on May 17, the song will vanish back into the mists of the Himalayas...

AND! Be in with a chance of winning a Quest 3 headset sponsored by ourselves, Synth Riders, and UploadVR too!



So what are you waiting for? Pick up the bundle, have a dance to Shangri-La La La, AND enter to win your very own Quest 3.

Till next time!

Marvel at the “Adriatic Jewel” while putting through 18 holes in Easy and 18 on Hard Mode, collecting expertly-hidden lost balls, and completing our foxhunt to unlock a custom artisanal putter. Che capolavoro!


Stand out in style too by fashioning your choice of delectable or dashing avatar accessory, hand-crafted behind the doors of the finest local ateliers.

You can also find the following game updates and fixes alongside this release
- New accessibility features to assist players, including a magnifier, large wrist UI, and smoothed controller motion.
- New clam avatar colors (no longer just purple). Linguine alle vongole, anyone?
- PSVR2 Atlantis game crash fix for some users when returning to Welcome Island from both Easy and Hard.
- Ice Lair fixes for record showing as “?0” in Welcome Island, a ball fix for being considered in-play when falling into grates (now considered as falling out-of-bounds and ball returns to previous position), and a fix for the ball being able to slide off final Ramp after making it into the hole.
- A Myst Easy/Hard fix for when the sky starts dark at Hole 11 Easy - the workaround of going into the scorecard and back no longer works. The sky is staying dark.
- A Journey to the Center of the Earth fix for headlamp setting not always initializing properly in Hard Mode (if previously enabled, the light at times would show from your putter instead of your head).
- A Quest fix for DLCs not being available when disconnected from WiFi after Meta v62 SDK update.

Fantastico! How do I play?
Simply update your passport and take a passeggiata to our Steam page below to purchase. Be sure to join in the celebrations on Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok too.

How can I find other Italian speakers?
Italian language rooms have been set up for Venice Easy, running for 2 weeks after launch for locals to “socializzare”. The rooms open at 9 am and 5 pm local Italian time on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so be sure to join our Discord server for more information.

Till next time, ciao!

Join us as we celebrate our Ice Lair DLC launch. Watch our collection of trailers videos until March 8.

Carved into an arctic glacier lies a subterranean hideout cloaking an ice-cold plot against humanity. Stop an evil scientist and her puffin henchmen intent on perfecting their freeze ray technology.

What is Ice Lair you might ask? Here’s the full frosty itinerary.

In this next installment of the Evil Lair series, your mission is to putt through the icy headquarters of a former scientist mastermind as you attempt to stop her colony of puffin henchmen intent on perfecting their freeze ray technology…

Putt through 18 holes in Easy and 18 on Hard Mode with over 150 puffins as nosey on-lookers, collect lost balls, and complete our most challenging foxhunt yet to enjoy our custom frozen putter!



We’re giddy with ant-ice-ipation. What else is there?

This course introduces 4 new gameplay mechanics:

• A freeze ray to turn a player’s ball into an ice cube.
  
• There are heat pads over which frozen balls can be melted!
  
• Ice on the green for frozen and unfrozen balls to traverse.
  
• Players can now jump frozen balls over obstacles and barriers.
  

Surely that’s just the tip of the iceberg?

• You’re right! Enjoy 2 new game-wide course settings with this DLC release, including a “Forfeit Hole” (found under Settings > Course), and “Auto Teleport” (found under Settings > Movement).
  
• Dive into updates in the main menu avatar tab, with avatar presets being reorganized to display custom avatars first, followed by predesigned avatars (eg: Ludo, Clam, Robot).
  
• We’re saying so long to the dark blue hair, and introducing a gray hair replacement instead! Light blue hair is still available and PERFECT for this icy backdrop.
  
• There are 25th-course celebratory avatars - a top hat and crown - included in the new update regardless of Ice Lair purchase.

For the first time too, there are additional surfaces the frozen ball can stay “in play” on for added trick shots and tricky workarounds to evil obstacles! Not only that, but there are tons of technical tricks to emulate frozen air, icy water, and the sea life that surrounds the arctic compound. Perfect for the dozens upon dozens of puffins who watch and interact with you, and for the rideable orca whale watching!

Note: Ice Lair release will not be backwards compatible for Multiplayer. Please join us on Discord to discuss this further.



Okay I’m ready! How do I play?
