Fraud Hotfix #1

MACHINES, WE HAVE A HOTFIX FOR YOU But before we get to the patch notes, I just wanted to take a second and say WOW.

The release of Ultrakill: Layer 8 - Fraud was HUGE. We had nearly 72,000 people playing the game at once. Nearly triple the amount of players we had for the launch of Layer 7 - Violence or the ULTRA_REVAMP last year.

More than giant multiplayer games like Apex Legends and Helldivers 2.

Crazy.

We also launched some new merch...

Including MINOS PRIME PLUSHIES!
