Hive-o-ween Leaving Soon

Hive-o-ween content will be leaving on Wednesday, November 6th.

If you haven't yet found all of the potion ingredients in the hub, reached the maximum level in Ghost Invasion, or collected 100 souls in Murder Mystery, now is your last chance to do so!

Once they're gone, all of this year's Hive-o-ween unlocks will never be available again!

The Bridge: Solos now uses Platform-Based Matchmaking

We have removed skill-based (ELO) matchmaking from The Bridge: Solos. This game now uses (local region) platform-based matchmaking.

Whilst The Bridge gets more than enough players for regular matchmaking, SBMM was causing excessively long matchmaking times outside of peak hours in the respective regions. Outside of these hours, the gap in skill (ELO) was so high that it was practically the same as our regular matchmaking.

For clarity, we are not vaulting The Bridge, and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.
