House Party News

Hey everyone! The Chinese translation is now available!

Please restart your game client to download it. If you use Steam, Epic, etc. and run into any additional problems, try verifying your game files.

We will continue making improvements and additions to the translation over time. For best viewing of this translation, we suggest using the "Montserrat" font in the Gameplay Settings.

Work still continues on the other translations. We know that the delay, and seeing other languages completed first, can be frustrating. Everyone associated with our localization efforts is working very hard, and we hope to have the remaining languages completed in the coming weeks.

Enjoy, and thanks for your support!

After-Party Bug Fixes & Performance Updates Arrive In House Party Stable Release 1.0.1!



The exciting post-release after-party is here, doods and lady-doods!

If you've been watching our updates lately, you know that the Doja Cat DLC is coming along awesomely, and we're still working super hard on improving the base game, too! Also, we're proud to announce that House Party's Stable Release 1.0.1 is available to all players now!

What's in this fancy new release? Well, before House Party left Early Access, we added some of the biggest graphical improvements that the party had seen thus far, and we also added some pretty graphically intense cutscenes. In this update, we worked hard to account for these graphical upgrades by adding a ton of optimization improvements!

We have also significantly reduced the memory that House Party uses, increased the frame rate of the game, improved frame drop and game lag issues in the yard (which were reported by multiple partiers), and fixed several crashing and stability problems. The game should be a much smoother and consistent experience for everyone going forward!

Thanks to these changes, House Party also runs smoother on the Steam Deck! You should find that the game now plays great on Ultra settings.

Of course, a handful of bug fixes and other changes to existing content were added in this update, too! It should be much harder for characters to accidentally fall outside the game world (total party foul right?), new translation components were added to the "hard coded" English text so translators can make more progress on localization, and we improved some sight check/culling check settings.

You can also now grab more items around the house, and keen-eyed players might spot a few mysterious, spoilery items hanging out and about in the game world!

Speaking of curiosity, we've been doing a bunch of community polls on our social media accounts lately - especially our Instagram! Last time, we asked you who your favorite House Party character is!
This time around, we wanted to know which House Party character you related to most: Frank vs. Patrick, and Madison vs. Ashley! We were surprised to see that we have slightly more Patricks than Franks at the party, and a TON more Ashley personalities compared to Madisons!
How about you? Are you more like Frank or Patrick? Do you vibe more with Ashley or Madison?
