Only Climb: Better Together news & patch notes

Hello everyone!

For a long time, we have been testing and fixing issues in Only Climb: Better Together, and we are now almost at the finish line before releasing the biggest update since the game’s launch.

A tremendous amount of work has been done: we upgraded the game engine version, reworked the core character mechanics, and fixed long-standing bugs and glitches. The character now feels significantly more stable and responsive, making the overall gameplay smoother and more reliable.

Special attention was given to the Skyway map. It has undergone extensive and careful development, and it is now one of the longest and most detailed maps in the game. Skyway features multiple routes, ranging from long and accessible paths to challenging and fast-paced ones. We hope you enjoy setting new records on this map.

For those who can’t wait, the update and the map are already available in the Staging Branch. In our previously published news post, you can find instructions on how to switch to the Staging Branch on Steam and start exploring the new map.

As the Staging Branch continues to be updated, we will publish hotfix patches detailing the changes and fixes that have been implemented.

At the moment, the Staging Branch version includes a new character, a new map, and a fully updated game interface.

For players who prefer to wait for the most stable version, we recommend holding on just a little longer — Only Climb: Better Together — Skyway Global Update will soon be released on the main branch.

If you encounter any bugs or critical issues that interfere with gameplay, please make sure to report them to us on Discord or on the Steam forum. If possible, include as much detail as you can — this helps us investigate and resolve issues faster.

Your feedback is extremely valuable. It allows us to improve stability, prevent similar problems for future players, and enhance the overall enjoyment of the game. Together, we make the experience better.

We invite everyone to try the new update and dive into fresh experiences and new adventures!

Best regards, The Exbyte Studios Development Team
