Protoball News

Fixed a bug where logging in for the first time didn't let you do the tutorial. Updated shield VFX.

Today on this Summer Solstice of 2025 (longest day of the year), we've updated the public build of Protoball on Steam!

Early Access v2 comes earlier than expected. We've been seeing some wild organic growth on Steam so we decided to give the people the current version of the remake of Protoball.

Community Game Night will return as well. This is a dedicated night each week where we host dedicated servers and the community plays together in the discord. It makes for some great times and you're all invited.

Players can also host their own Listen Servers (your performance is dependent on your network & PC) and play with their friends. We also have training modes for Free Play and 100v1 (Race against the clock to score 100 balls).

It's an early development build, the team is currently two die-hard developers dedicated to this game. It really is so much fun and if you get the hang of the controls, and the movement, and you get into a match with some friends or other testers we're sure that you'll see what makes it so magical.

A new Roadmap will soon follow.

Press Q for a quick Lob, Y to change FPP/TPP, and Right Click to initiate a curve abll, use WASD to choose curve direction, and Tap ALT to lock in your curve direction. Please do the tutorial, and then the 100v1 training.

When you click "Create Private Match" we'll spin up an private server, to join you'll need the lobby ID.

You'll need to note/type/copy your private lobby ID from the "Ready Up" screen and give it to your friends/scrimmage opponents.

A fully featured and easier to use system is coming soon, but you die hard try hard proto pros have been asking for this and you deserve it. The next tournament (Mid November) is going to have some serious prizes!

Also we know private is misspelled in this update, you try spelling at 3am with no coffee! ;) We'll get our English together soonTM...

Fixed a bug that caused a server to bug out, and did some optimization passes on orbital & championship arena. More optimizations are incoming. A big part of optimizations will be the NEW CHARACTERS THAT ARE ON THE WAY.

We've got some updates and surprises coming this month, so stay tuned, join the discord, and take it easy (except in the arena of course).

Just an update to get this tournament ENGAGED.

Join the discord, watch the stream, come join a Protoball team!
