Welcome Stumblers! 


Thank you for joining our community. We understand that you might notice differences in your game version, and we're here to explain why. 

Why does my version of Stumble Guys differ on console compared to other platforms?

  • Platform-Specific Certification: Console versions must undergo additional quality assurance and certification processes required by console manufacturers (e.g., PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo). This extra step ensures the game meets each platform’s performance and compliance standards.
  • Tailored Optimizations: To provide the best experience, the console version might feature unique optimizations, control adjustments, or visual tweaks that differ from mobile or PC versions.
  • Staggered Rollouts: Due to these additional requirements, updates for consoles are sometimes released on a different schedule than those for other platforms.

Why are patches not released for everyone at the same time?

  • Ensuring Game Stability: Our team prioritizes a smooth and stable gaming experience. Releasing patches gradually allows us to monitor server performance in real time and quickly address any unforeseen issues.
  • Risk Mitigation: A staggered rollout minimizes the risk of widespread technical issues. By initially releasing the update to a smaller group of users, we can resolve any bugs or performance problems before a full-scale release.
  • Server and Network Considerations: Large updates can significantly impact server load and network performance. A phased deployment helps maintain server stability and ensures a seamless experience for everyone.

Could AB tests cause my game version to look different from someone else’s?

  • What is an A/B Test? An A/B test is where players are randomly placed into two or more groups and given slightly different versions of the game to determinate which variaton performs better. For example, the versions could use different task types, different rewards, or early access to new features.
  • Controlled Experiments: We regularly run AB tests, where a small percentage of players are provided with an alternate version of certain features or visual elements. This helps us gather valuable feedback on new changes.
  • Randomized Deployment: Since these tests are only rolled out to a subset of users, you might notice differences compared to other players. This method allows us to evaluate changes on a smaller scale before deciding on a broader rollout.
  • Maintaining Experience Quality: Any experimental changes introduced via AB testing are closely monitored to ensure they do not negatively affect gameplay. Once refined and proven successful, these updates are integrated into future patches for everyone.
