Overview

• Original Switch owners receive visual downgrades—hiding nonessential stage elements—to align performance and ensure fair cross-console play.
• Across both consoles the patch adds 30 new weapons, revives the classic Urchin Underpass stage, and raises the maximum Freshness limit.
• A new Series Weapon feature for Rank S Anarchy Battles and a call sign option for X Battles enhance competitive matchmaking.
