Exciting New Update Enhances Gameplay Experience

Undisputed, developed by Steel City Interactive, has rolled out its fourth gameplay update in five weeks, offering multiple enhancements and fixes to the boxing game. The newest Undisputed update is now available for download on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC through Steam, featuring several highly sought-after improvements to stamina, movement, and more.

With EA’s Fight Night series inactive for over ten years, boxing enthusiasts have eagerly awaited a new title to fill this void. After spending two years in early access, Steel City Interactive officially launched Undisputed in October, though many fans expressed disappointment. At release, the game received mixed reviews, with users feeling the gameplay had regressed since the early access phase and noting that numerous features were still absent. Nevertheless, Steel City has pledged to enhance the game through an ongoing series of updates, with the latest bringing significant improvements.

The most recent Undisputed update has upgraded the game to version 1.3.3, making changes to evasive tactics to “increase their effectiveness.” According to the official patch notes, players can now dodge, slip, weave, and execute diagonal dodges to better evade punches and counter opponents. Additionally, stamina has been adjusted: blocked punches will now consume less stamina than missed punches, but more than landed punches.

After the game initially garnered mixed feedback, it appears Steel City’s boxing title is improving. Many fans praised an earlier update released on April 24, claiming the game now feels “solid and snappy.” One user commended Steel City for addressing concerns raised in prior patches and incorporating community feedback into their changes.

However, the studio has faced criticism, particularly regarding the latest Undisputed DLC, which fans described as “insulting.” Ongoing gameplay issues and bugs led many to criticize the developers for focusing on paid DLC instead of crucial updates. It seems, though, that Steel City has listened to player concerns, as reflected in their release of four updates within five weeks, which not only improve gameplay but also address numerous bugs.
