Undisputed developer Steel City Interactive has released another new update for its controversial boxing title, this time bringing a few brand-new fighters, some rating adjustments, and plenty of bug fixes. The 1.5 content update for Undisputed is available to download now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam, with the full change log for the patch now also available.
Ever since Undisputed launched to mixed reviews last year, developer Steel City Interactive has remained committed to addressing the many complaints from the community via new gameplay updates. While there has been the occasional lull in patch releases, the studio has added plenty of new fighters, venues, cosmetics, and more to the game, as well as making a plethora of gameplay improvements, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements. The latest patch is no different, with plenty of new fixes and content for players to check out right now.
Undisputed’s Latest Update Is Available Now
After teasing the latest Undisputed update earlier this month, Steel City Interactive has now officially released patch 1.5 to the public. Those on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC can download and install the update now to check out the two free fighters, the ratings adjustment for Sergio Martinez, plenty of bug fixes, improvements, and more. While new DLCs give fans access to a plethora of new boxers, the latest update is giving fans two for free. Included in patch 1.5 are Antonio Tarver, a former light heavyweight and cruiserweight champion, and Billy Dib, a former featherweight and super-featherweight champion.
According to the official patch notes, which can be found further down this article, the latest Undisputed update not only brings two new fighters to the game but also has a wide range of fixes and improvements. Some new gameplay adjustments aim to address punch accuracy, stamina recovery, and TKO handling, while online play sees improved matchmaking and lobby stability, as Steel City Interactive says it has addressed an issue that was causing long matchmaking times, as well as a bug causing problems with lobby invitations.
While the release of Undisputed came at a time when no other major boxing game was available, that may not last for much longer. Late last year, an industry insider and journalist revealed that EA was in the process of revitalizing its popular Fight Night series. The last installment in the boxing franchise came all the way back in 2011, but development on a new title has reportedly been stopped and restarted multiple times over the years. Assuming the leak is true, as well as a potential new UFC game also in development, Undisputed could have some big competition on the way in the coming months and years.
