Hey y’all, JulezJP here. It’s been a wild ride and I’ve had so much fun writing these patch notes, chatting with folks on X, and meeting so many of you in person at events. (Frosty Faustings was lowkey my favorite, shoutout to the TNS late night karaoke sessions.)

I’m gonna miss writing these notes and working with Yohosie fine tuning last minute changes late at night or tinkering with formatting and templating for how we communicate changes (and Juliwaves for editing us off from a cliff, I’m still glad the employed Darius joke got through the review though.) I’m excited to see where the community takes the game. The team has been grinding to make it the best we can, and for any of y’all still around to read this—it’s for you!

Hey, it’s Yohosie. This is it! Building changes with the team and writing these patch notes is something I’ll miss dearly. I’m incredibly happy with balance and core gameplay, and I loved writing these patch notes and bringing some insight and humor into fighting game development. We spent countless hours working on 2XKO and had a blast doing it, and we hope it’s felt in the gameplay and overall roster diversity you’re feeling today.

I want to thank all of the talented people I’ve worked with on this project. The GAT team, the Design team, and the players (we built this thing together!). If I could live life 100 times, I would have chosen to work on 2XKO with you in each and every one. Fight on.

This will be the last patch before our end of active development, but our Community Event Support will continue and servers will remain online for matchmaking until further notice.

Recommended Tournament Settings

Our team has been testing input lag and settings to try to match offline console play as close to PC play as possible, and we wanted to share our findings with the community to help any aspiring or future tournament organizers land on the right settings sooner. 

PS5

1. 120hz Mode
2. VRR on
3. In-game input lag toggle set to 2 frames of delay

3. Vsync in-game on
4. In-game input lag toggle set to 2 frames of delay

Vanguard

After patch 1.3.3b drops, you will no longer need Vanguard to run or install 2XKO. Vanguard needs constant updates to stay ahead of cheats, and since there won’t be major live patches for the game after this one, we’re removing the requirement going forward.
