The game recently expanded its platform availability by launching on Xbox. More significantly, version 2.5 brought substantial updates including the addition of Ranked Mode, a long-requested feature that tracks player standing and displays competitive rankings. The patch also included character balance adjustments and bug fixes, with Nintendo Switch players receiving the update alongside other platforms.
