Gratitude Gift Pack DLC
Released in mid-February 2026, the Gratitude Gift Pack DLC is a free cosmetic pack containing early-access-exclusive outfits, a beach-themed furniture set, and a thank-you letter from the developer. It is available to all players regardless of when they bought the EA build.
Chinese New Year celebration
The February 16, 2026 patch added a Chinese New Year festival with fireworks, themed outfits in Ethereal Styles, and red-pack collectibles scattered around town. It was the first seasonal event of the Early Access cycle.
Console cadence
Console updates trail the PC version by 24–72 hours because each platform holder runs its own certification review. Xbox typically catches up fastest thanks to the shorter Microsoft review queue; Switch 2 trails by up to a week during high-patch-volume periods.
