• Screen titles no longer sit under the status bar on newer iPhones. • Fixed a cloud save delay when the game starts in the background. • Removed catalyst price increases and the 99-purchase limit. • Safer run recovery and updated Core Law balance. • Clearer forecasts, build details and Hub warnings. • Anomaly Scrap targets now use recent run rewards. • Better small-phone layouts and translations. • Optional 30-second wait for rewards when no ad is available.

New: craft your own Glyphs. • Choose a chassis and shot, fill sockets with parts earned in Strain, and forge. Temper parts from Strain 2, then finalize the Glyph for your drafts. Unlock it as an Opening Glyph to start runs with it. Own up to three crafted Glyphs and choose new cosmetic art. • Strain: eight levels per Core with stacking rules and first-clear rewards. Reach the target wave, then Shatter to clear a level. From Strain 2, start at checkpoints and choose enemy targeting priorities. • Core Laws: unlock each Core's Law for an optional effect with a cost. • Shatter bonus: standard runs grant up to 25% bonus Scrap when you Shatter. In a Gambit, clear the target wave first or lose the stake. • Boss warnings give you time to answer with HOLD or the marked sector. Updated shield interactions and returned Scrap from the Gilded Assessor. • Improved Reformat and Vestige progression. Name Auto-Pick presets, choose instant or 15-second picks, and set Graphics to Auto, High or Low. Added separate Auto-Assist controls. • New German, Korean, Polish, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, plus layouts that fit small screens better. • Improved cloud saves: compatible saves retain permanent unlocks and best-run records from both; currencies come from the save you choose. Interrupted saves can retry when you reopen.

More control during runs, and instant rewards when you return. Unlock Trash after Veto to remove up to three Glyphs or Chips per run — each use costs more Heat and Scrap, shown before you confirm. Four new Exchange unlocks automate Drafts, Shattering and Research, and at Convergence 44 you can pick an Opening Glyph to start every run with. Also new: • Instant offline rewards. Coming back after time away no longer runs a long catch-up — what you earned is ready immediately. • Clearer build details. Tap a board stat to see its bonuses, multipliers and caps. The Codex now tracks recorded Fusions and Glyph Sets, and Circuit help shows active Circuits, near-misses and missing Chips. • Safer resumes. Non-Ranked runs can be resumed at any time, late-game runs that would not restore are fixed, and iCloud saves are safer when switching Apple Accounts. • Better Ranked. Closest current-season rivals, fewer repeat opponents, and standings that keep their last results. • A new Daily Run Bonus. Bank a run at wave 50 or higher once a day to earn 8 Flux. • Faster and smoother. Long runs use less memory, projectile-heavy boards run much faster, and iPad supports resizable windows on Apple silicon Macs. Thanks for playing!

Weekend Anomalies, and runs that survive a close. A new Anomaly every weekend, Friday to Sunday. Each rewrites the run rules and pays a track of Flux, Grid Sync, Vestige Fragments and Axioms. Open EVENTS on Home. Also new: • Your run survives a close. If the game closes during a run, reopen within 30 minutes and you land back in the same run, at the same wave. Anything earned while away still banks. • A much faster arena. The floor, the Grid, projectiles and effects all draw faster. • Controller support. A connected controller navigates every screen. • A clearer Attunement sheet, plus fixes across reminders, graphics settings and the Draft. Thanks for playing!

A quick fix. Opening the game could show the same message every time, saying the app had closed during a run. That message is gone. Idle earnings and your save were always safe and carry on as before. Thanks for playing!

Five Ultraboss fights, from wave 50. Each climax asks your build a different question: the Null Sovereign's self-repairing plate, the Spiral Outrider's orbit, the Gilded Assessor levying your Scrap, the Hollow Choir's ring of attendants, the Siege Colossus shelling the Core from range. Each kill earns a ceremony and a place on the Codex trophy shelf. Also new: • Faster across the board. The arena draws quicker on every device, and the heaviest waves hold a steady frame rate. • Fusion survives a full board. Fuse offers keep coming once every Glyph slot is filled, right to the end of the run. • Every Grid Season tier pays. A claimed tier whose cosmetic you already own grants Flux in its place, and the reward track marks what you own. • Ukrainian in the app, Arabic counts that agree with their real value, and a run stats sheet that reports the damage your Core really deals. Thanks for playing!

A clearer run. A refreshed run HUD, spawn telegraphs for elites and bosses, and new threats announced by name. Also new: • The game explains itself. Tap any currency to see what it earns, what it buys, and what survives a reset. Convergence and Reformat preview your next cycle, and Research shows what each upgrade does. • The Codex grew two wings. A Bestiary of every enemy you've met, plus a Circuits library for planning combos between runs. • Haptics on iOS, new sounds for boss kills and prestiges, a sharper first hour, and dozens of fixes. Thanks for playing!

The endgame opens up. Complete the Axiom tree to unlock the Trove, then hunt, forge, and equip Vestiges: collectible relics, each with a passive that reshapes a run. Also new: • Deep Hunts: push a run past wave 100 to recover a Vestige's Fragments and forge it toward Apex. • Research: a permanent Core upgrade tree. • Gambit: stake earned Axioms on a live run, hold past the floor and Shatter for a bigger payout, or breach and lose the stake. • Improved visuals for 8 Glyphs, several with distinct new firing patterns. Fixed: • Foundry and Mainframe upgrades now apply on every Core, not just Aegis. Thanks for playing!

Offline rewards fixed: returning after time away could bank nothing. Your idle haul of Scrap and Data now lands on every return, however you leave and however you come back. Also new: • Leave mid-run and keep earning: time away during a live run now counts for every Core, and the run resumes right where you left it • Steadier returns: your away tally survives restarts, interruptions and slow loads Thanks for playing!

Ranked fixed: a server fault was blocking ladder results. Your daily matches now land on the live Standings, with the rating you earned counting in full. Also new: • Set a primary Core on the Core Map. Home shows it and starts runs with it • Glyph set bonuses explained where you build, with a live tally and an in-run banner • Instant offline collect: take a close estimate instead of waiting for the exact tally • Crisper Core visuals, cloud-save fixes and more Thanks for playing!
