Overview

• Players reported severe stuttering, frequent crashes and sub-30 fps performance on both PC and PS5 following the June 10 release.
• PlayStation Support waived its usual no-refund policy, granting rare buy-back requests to PS5 owners citing optimization failures.
• Build a Rocket Boy traced the majority of crashes to a memory leak affecting about one in ten users and is deploying Hotfix #1 from June 13–15 to improve CPU, GPU and stability.
• Two further updates are scheduled—one next week for ongoing performance tweaks and a third by end of June to rebalance difficulty, fix AI issues and patch gameplay glitches.
• Steam concurrent players peaked near 3,300 at launch and dropped roughly 60% by day two, highlighting a rapid decline in user engagement.
