Amongst the many bug fixes is one you have been requesting we fix – you will no longer accidentally select blocks behind the camera when using drag select!

NATIVE NEXT GEN TRAILMAKERS!

Native versions of the game for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5! We’re extremely happy to be able to bring native versions of Trailmakers to these consoles, and with the additional power available it has allowed us to do something pretty cool:

• Player Hosted servers on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5! Players on these platforms can now also choose to host a server on their own console. The Cloud Hosted option is still available if you prefer that! If you are playing on the next gen version, and your friends are still playing on the last generation, don’t worry, you can still play together!
• Save Data – All of your data from the last generation will carry across to the native next gen version, so you can continue right where you left off after upgrading!
• Free Upgrade – If you already own Trailmakers on Xbox One or PlayStation 4 the native next gen upgrade is all yours!
• Performance – If you are playing on Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 the game is displaying at 3840×2160 and targeting 60FPS. If you’re playing on the Xbox Series S it will display at 2560×1440 and also target 60FPS. 

We have also added a new “V Sync” option if you’d prefer to cap the framerate at 60. Of course, Trailmakers is a Sandbox game, so you can essentially spawn in as many blocks/creations as you like, so in these cases expect lower than 60 FPS. If you’ve been with us since our release on last gen consoles, you know we are never done, so as we spend more time with the new hardware it is possible that further improvements in this area will come…

GENERAL

• We’ve added Decals to the game. You can find this option within the Builder. Just select a block, or selection of blocks, bring up the Radial Menu and there will be a new Decals option here. There are many options available for all players, with even more in the two Decal DLC packs!
• New High Seas themed outfits for player characters for all players who own the High Seas DLC!
• New, clean skin for blocks – this has been a much-requested feature, and the addition of Decals was the perfect time to introduce it. You can now achieve clean, nubless builds without covering them in Shield Plates!
• New background video on the Main Menu featuring more awesome community creations!
• Leaderboards reset in the Rally mode and on Race Island!
• Xbox – We have removed the old Voice Chat system that was enabled by default when playing on Multiplayer Servers. To bring the game to parity with other platforms, we please ask you to use the platform specific party/voice tools available!

BLOCKS

• Friction Pad (can be found in the Wheels category)
• Simple Hub Cap (Can be found in the Accessories section of the Builder, under Rims)
• Dice Dispenser (Can be found under Gadgets)
• We added a Speed slider to existing rims inside the Configuration menu, which allows you to change how fast they spin, and even which direction they spin!
• We added a Frame of Reference drop down to the Altitude Sensor, so it can now Ignore Waves, or be relative to them!

BUILDER

• Further improvements to Mirror Mode, based on your feedback.
• We changed Mirror Mode so you cannot click / select blocks on the other side of the mirror than you are – no more accidental trips through the mirror dimension.
• We added an orange outline to the Mirrored block / group that you have selected.
• The virtual nubs that appear in the builder to highlight where you can place/snap a block to are now always shown, rather than flashing for a brief moment after panning the camera.
• We’ve optimized the performance of these virtual nubs.
• We made the directional Arrow in the Builder prettier.
• When viewing Skins in the builder or customization screen, they will now have a tooltip with their name shown when you hover over them with cursor.
• Whilst the Mirror Mode is still technically in beta, we’ve fixed many cases of it not behaving as expected & made many improvements to it. We know we’re not quite ready to bring it out of Beta so please continue giving us your feedback!
