addedThis update features the all-new ARCADE MODE , which lets you jump directly into battles without playing through the story. Arcade Mode has its own separate progression, objectives, and methods for obtaining, leveling, and equipping your Tenzerks.

You can push for high scores on an overall, track-by-track, or Tenzerk-by-Tenzerk basis. This score mechanic, along with the new shop and quickplay mode, is available to story players in the endgame Haus Infinity area. Of course, the update also includes a bunch of bug fixes and other improvements that you can read about in the full patch notes below. To opt-in to the beta branch, find the game in your library, right click or select the gear icon, choose "Properties...", select "Game Versions & Betas", then choose the option " public_beta ".
