Planet Coaster 2’s spring roadmap splashes down, with ’round-bottomed flumes’ coming in March and buildable restaurants arriving in April

Frontier Developments is enhancing Planet Coaster 2 with several updates since its launch in October. January introduced improved flume simulation for waterslides, and February added customizable video billboards. The next update, scheduled for March 20, will enhance flume construction with increased flexibility, introduce a wider variety of guest and raft movements, enhance visual effects, and incorporate "inflatable deformation" for rafts. Additionally, "round-bottomed flumes" will be added, and Update 3 will feature the Vector, an inverting suspended rollercoaster. April's Update 4 will introduce in-park restaurants and another new ride. Ongoing improvements will focus on performance, stability, and economy management. Further updates are planned for May and beyond.

Planet Coaster 2’s latest update adds synchronised rides, customisable video billboards, and stops guests suffering from perpetual panic

Planet Coaster 2 launched in November and has received two major updates since. The first update refined flume ride simulations and user interface issues. The second update introduced personalized video billboards, synchronized ride launches, and "de-themed" coaster variants. It also included game tweaks, bug fixes, enhanced user notifications, and a preview feature for the path and pool tool. Notable bug fixes improved guest behavior, such as changing clothes before exiting and exiting queues quietly when rides are closed. The game has sold approximately 400,000 copies, contributing to Frontier's return to profitability in the first half of the financial year, despite some user dissatisfaction regarding creation controls.
