Chef's Table - September 2025

[p]Hey there Platers![/p][p][/p][p]It's 🎃Pumpkin Season 🎃 again! We're heading into our favourite time of the year (we've been known to get up to some tricks and treats around here), and we have a few PlateUp! development details to share as autumn begins.[/p][p][/p][p]First things first: PlateUp! is now available in Japan! We've been working with our friends over at Teyon Japan and we're thrilled to bring the game to a whole new audience. Improved Japanese localisation is also rolling out to everyone with the game update coming alongside this release. Both digital and physical copies of the game are now available in Japan![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Now, let's talk about the game update coming alongside the Japanese release today. As we've mentioned, this game update focuses heavily on performance and networking improvements. You'll notice shorter loading times and smoother frame rates, especially during those long overtime runs. These improvements will be most noticeable on handheld platforms like Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck. We've also added a new visual for Discord integration, with icons that display which dish you're cooking up![/p][p][/p][p]You can read the full patch notes for the update here.[/p][p][/p][p]We did sneak in a few bug fixes as a part of this performance update as well. More fixes and features are on the way in our upcoming content update! We've also been testing some UI tweaks to help with accessibility on those smaller screens. Our team has been sorting through all the wonderful suggestions you guys gave us in August and are preparing something delicious to serve to you guys! Stay tuned:)[/p][p][/p][p]The PlateUp! Team[/p]
