Hey party animals!

You can play Ultimate Chicken Horse for FREE from Sept 7-11! It's the best time to play if you need a game for a party night, just want to try it out, or want to introduce friends to it! Plus, we're running a big 55% off sale from Sept 7-14.


Ultimate Chicken Horse fully supports crossplay, so you can play with anyone who has it on console. Also, there's local play and online play, shared controller functionality, challenge mode, gameplay modifiers, a custom level builder, and community-made levels.

The Ultimate Chicken Horse Discord is the spot for new friends to play with, answers to your questions, bug support, and goofy discussions. We'd love to meet you. :)

Hey party animals!

In this update, we're going to change how invite codes for players' lobbies work in Ultimate Chicken Horse.

[UPDATE] The lobby invite code changes are now LIVE!

Previously, your invite code would stay the same no matter what. In this update, you'll regenerate a new invite code every time you host a lobby, unless you save your invite code so that it stays the same between games.

[h3]How do you SAVE your lobby invite code? [/h3]
- Open Ultimate Chicken Horse, press "Play Online" and host a lobby.
- When in-game at the Treehouse, open the pause menu and click "Lobby".
- Click on the **** to reveal your 4-letter code.
- If you want to save your code for future games, click the checkbox to "Freeze Invite Code". Your code will stay the same until you uncheck the box (and the new update is released).



It's out, hope you get a cool code!

Hello everyone! We’re back after a few months of work on Ultimate Chicken Horse with version 1.10.06 on all platforms.

We addressed several server issues that came up during the Shellebration Update, changed how voting works on community-made custom levels, and added a new song to the OST. Plus some other minor changes.

Read below for more, and join the Ultimate Chicken Horse Discord to keep up-to-date with all things Chicken and Horse!

[h2]Server refactor[/h2]
After the Shellebration Update, we had more players online than ever before. (Wow, thank you!) However, our servers were not prepared for the sheer number of people enjoying the game. This resulted in players experiencing many server desync issues like endless loading screens, getting stuck in the party box, placed blocks not showing up, and lobbies randomly shutting down.

We’ve just completed a server refactor to address these desync issues and prevent them from happening in the future. It also gives us the ability to add more servers to high traffic regions whenever we have a big influx of new players. :)

We also addressed a country-wide connection issue for players in Korea. As of today, everyone in Korea should be able to connect and play online again! Thank you for your patience and bug reports - there were many Korean players who helped us solve the problem by sending us their player logs. ❤️

If you experience any server issues or bugs, please report them to the developers in the Ultimate Chicken Horse Discord.

[h2]Downvotes removed from custom levels[/h2]
We removed downvotes from the voting system for custom/community-made levels!

Downvotes were not being used in a way that was useful or kind to our community, which warranted their removal. If you don’t enjoy a level, you now have the choice to upvote it or ignore it. (Note that you can still report levels that break our community rules!)

[h2]Ultimate Chicken Horse OST[/h2]
The game’s soundtrack just got a new song! It now has the “Shellebration” track which plays during the Metro level.

[h2]Quality of life changes[/h2]
We received feedback that the game's initial volume was too loud, so we reduced it by 20%. (Now the Horse noise is less of a jumpscare!)

That’s all for now! We’ll be monitoring the server situation and keeping an eye out for any new issues. Have fun out there. 🙂

Hi everyone, there's an issue with crossplay between PC and consoles! However, there is a temporary solution, so please read below!

We just released a new update on Steam/PC to fix various server issues, including a serious connection bug for players in Korea. Crossplay was impacted because our console platforms have not yet received the same update, creating a game version mismatch. Thankfully, there's a solution if you really want to play together with your console pals!

[h2]Temporary solution for crossplay between PC and consoles[/h2]
If you're a PC player and want to play with your console friends, you just need to switch to our Steam beta branch for Ultimate Chicken Horse.

To do this, right-click Ultimate Chicken Horse in the Steam Library. Go to properties, open the "Betas" tab, and select the "crossplay-1.10.05 - Old build with console crossplay" version from the dropdown menu. Restart your Steam if the game doesn't update automatically.
Just remember to switch back to "None" in the Betas tab if you want to play with people on the newest build of the game.



Note that this WILL NOT WORK if you are in Korea - this is due to server problem that's been affecting this entire region, and only the newest build fixes it.

If you're experiencing problems with getting crossplay to work with this solution, please just join the Ultimate Chicken Horse Discord, and the moderators will help you out there.
