From official sources
What’s confirmed.
Current source checkpoint
The official news page lists the Friends From Afar version 2.3 overview and bug-fix notes for 29 October. That current update is separate from November’s Hutuo announcement; check its patch notes for your edition.
Check original source ↗What is scheduled next
Hutuo and anniversary activities are scheduled for 13 November. Dual Spears follows in late November, with a developer broadcast on 2 November. Those dates do not establish a Brisbane unlock time.
Check original source ↗Treat platform claims carefully
The Hutuo reveal describes PSSR and a stable 60 fps presentation on PS5 Pro. That is a developer claim, not our benchmark or a result for base PS5, PC or mobile.
Check original source ↗Questions before you play.
Official descriptions and source dates are separated from our own testing.
Are all regional editions identical?
Do not assume so. Use the official download and update notes for the platform/account region you play on.
Is the 100-million-player milestone a live player count?
No. The publisher’s August milestone is cumulative worldwide players, not simultaneous users, sales or a Steam-only figure.
