Descenders News

[h3]Hey there everyone!

You MIIIGHT have noticed a cheeky update coming through this morning... WELCOME TO THE MISCHIEF TOUR!

We've popped you a LOVELY update with some new bike parks to check out, and some new missions to grab yourself some new gear!

The team have also been hard at work on some optimizations, so you folks who have been running into issues with long playtimes should be better off now!



In this new MISCHIEF TOUR UPDATE, here's what's new:

• THE MISCHIEF TOUR: 8 brand new missions to help you master the SILLY side of Descenders (including a scavenger hunt! Can you find 'em all?)
  
• Snowman's Ball: A new map from BI0S0CK - you might remember jump city! Now take on some pedal-free fun across the snow!
  
• Lost Cause Caves: DogTorque really knocked it out of the park with this new beautifully lit cave system ready for you to explore, just make sure you stay on your wheels and out of the lava!
  
• Optimizations: We've been making Descenders slimmer and faster, so you folks who have been noticing drops after a long playtime should be able to play for longer!
  

We hope you enjoy this new update, especially the cool new parks! We'll see you out on the trails

[h3]Hey everyone! We've popped out a TINY patch for you this morning, though it's a pretty important one, so we figured we'd let you know what's new!

• Crossplay with Xbox is back! We know a fair few of you have been missing playing with your friends, so now we've put some fixes in place you can lobby back up together!
  
  
• Fixed the stuttering happening on some PCs - the team managed to hunt down the cause thanks to your reports and have fixed that right up - if you run into any more problems let us know!
  
  
• Re-added a certain shiny, glowing reward - if you know, you know! If you complete all your Grand Tour quests now, you'll get a nice surprise!
  

That's it! A small but mighty patch, perfect to get stuck back in over the weekend![/h3]
