fixedWhen we started on the game, one of the first things we did was to carefully look at the existing reviews and other areas where you, as a player, leave feedback (hello Reddit 👋). We’re looking into some of the most frequently-mentioned topics you’d like to see addressed, and what features you’d like to see. A common point of feedback has been about the online multiplayer mode of the game. We’re pleased to say that, with this new update, your online multiplayer experience should be significantly smoother (more on this below).

addedWe know UNO™ is hugely popular on Twitch, so for all you streamers we’ve added a new dedicated Twitch mode. The Chat Chaos mode is a different way to experience Twitch interactive features in UNO™, using the chat for viewers to type in commands. In this mode, the game reads in the text from the viewer chat. Viewers are invited to vote on different disruptions that their host will have to face. Will they vote to flip the host's hand of cards around? Will they ban red cards from play? Or our personal favourite, Twitch Plays UNO™ where the viewers take over the game! And of course, you can also ask your favourite Twitch streamer to check out this mode and see how you can bring chaos to their game. The Twitch Chat Chaos mode is in addition to the UNO™ Twitch Extension that was launched earlier this year.

addedWith the holiday season in full swing, we thought it would be nice to give players a special bonus. You’ll notice two brand new card decks: Winter Flora and Winter Solstice. We’ve also added some festive avatar frames: the lively Winter Fun, and the super cute Hotspring Hideaway. And what’s more, we’ve composed a retro holiday soundtrack, “Deck the Halls with Synths”. This music harks back to the golden era of classic 80s winter hits and is sure to give you a nostalgic holiday season! You can unlock all the new themed content for free by playing UNO™.

addedWe have an exciting 2025 ahead of us for UNO™, but in the meantime, we’d love for you to check out this new update!

fixed✨ Improvements have been made to the online multiplayer mode:Bugs related to the syncing between players have been fixed. • The game now auto-starts when the lobby is full. • Updates have been made to the matchmaking algorithm to prioritise joining games with 1 or 2 players. • We've increased the 'thinking time' during an online game to allow for Twitch voting. • Online games can now be started without any human opponents in the lobby.

We're Snap Finger Click, a small independent team of party game developers. We’ve previously worked with Ubisoft on Family Feud® and Trivial Pursuit Live! 2, and we took over the development of UNO™ earlier this year. We’ve already delivered the UNO Party! Mania™ DLC to you, a Twitch Extension, a Happy Hour feature to give you free access to the game’s DLC, bug fixes ❤️‍🔥, and more.
