  • Lobby Presets — Jump into action faster with preset configurations, though we still highly recommend customizing the settings to suit your playstyle.

  • Floor arrows — Never get lost on the way to the boardroom again.

  • Shelves glow when restocking — Matching shelves light up when you carry a box.

  • Session sharing — Session code and host IP now visible in Player Management for easy invites.
