Deathmatch—our nonstop onslaught game mode from the Stellar Upgrade DLC—is now playable online! How to play: If the lobby owner has purchased the DLC, they can switch the lobby to Deathmatch from the Lobby menu. Only the lobby owner needs the DLC. Give it a try and let us know how it goes in the Discord! Cheers,
