Release March 4th, 2026

Games
  • Behind-the-scenes improvements to how tutorials and splash messages (pop-up notifications) work. No noticeable changes, except that now, when multiple splash messages appear one after another (for example, Arena and Trophy ones), you'll see a "Skip X others" button to skip the rest if you want.
  • Fixed an issue where the “Go to next table” red button could show up too early, during animations, even though the current table wasn’t done yet. Now it only appears when all your actions on the table are really finished.
  • Updated some background systems for game options and player preferences. These changes are invisible but help make the menus work more smoothly.
Tournaments
  • Added a new option to distribute players into matches in multiplayer elimination tournaments.
  • Fixed an issue where invitation links didn’t copy and paste correctly.
Other
  • There’s now a new "Bugs & Suggestions" page so you can easily share feedback and report issues.
