UNO – Ver. ???

• Release date: ???
• Patch notes:

INTRODUCING: COMMUNITY GOALS

• Play UNO™: You contribute to the goal simply by performing the action during an online or local match. You just need to be connected online to see the event and contribute.
• Track Progress: Keep an eye on the community’s progress via the banner on the Main Menu, or check your personal contribution in the Events screen and post-match results.
• Earn Rewards: If the community successfully completes the goal, everyone who contributed at least a single point will earn the reward!
• Go Beyond 100%: If the community smashes the goal before the finish date, the event stays active so you can keep contributing and see how high the percentage can go

THE FIRST COMMUNITY GOALS EVENT IS LIVE NOW!

LEADERBOARD IMPROVEMENTS

• Brand New Layout: A brand new design that’s clearer, cleaner, and easy to read.
• New Filters: You can now toggle a “Friends Only” filter to see how you stack up against your crew, and easily switch between “Weekly” and “Lifetime” (formerly Global) views.
• Jump to My Score: No more endless scrolling! Use the new “Jump to My Score” function to instantly find your ranking.

MYDESIGN UPDATES

• Equip Your Plans Easily: You can now equip your MyDesign plan directly from the plan picker screen with the new “Equip” checkmark, without needing to start a game first.
• Simplified Settings: The display options in the Settings have been streamlined down to two clear choices: ‘Default’ (which uses opponents’ choice for cards, UNO calls, and VFX, but your choice for the board and music) and ‘My Designs’ (which uses your designs for everyone).
• Thematic AI Avatars & Card Backs: When playing a regular match with a customised board, the AI opponents will now automatically use avatars and the draw pile will use the card back associated with that board’s cosmetic pack

PATCH NOTES & TECH UPDATES

• Missing DLCs in Menu: Fixed an issue where DLCs would not display in the DLC menu for some players. A huge thank you to everyone who logged this in the Bug Reporter tool, as your detailed reports directly helped us track this down and get it sorted.
• Quickplay Matchmaking: Fixed the community-reported issue where Quickplay was prioritising putting players into 2v2 matches. It will now put players into a variety of match types including Free-For-All (FFA).
• Deflect a Draw Glitch: Fixed an issue in the Rabbids and Rayman DLCs where players could get stuck and were unable to choose the “Play/Keep” option when using the “Wild Blue Yonder” or “Punching Things” cards to deflect a draw.
• “Sluggish” Gameplay Fixes: Addressed community feedback regarding a 1-2 second delay when swapping hands using the 7-0 rule and another issue where the colour picker wheel was not instantly responsive when played, making the game feel much faster and more responsive.
• DLC Theme Card Freezes: Fixed a critical issue where playing specific DLC theme cards (such as Rayman’s Escape or Party Mania’s Wild Pile Up and Point Taken) could sometimes cause the game to freeze.
• Online 2v2 Input Loss: Resolved a bug where players would suddenly be unable to use any inputs (controller, mouse, or keyboard) to play their cards during online 2v2 Classic or DLC matches.
• Card Descriptions Stuck Open: Fixed an issue where the card descriptions could get stuck open during a DLC game.
• AFK Player Freeze: Fixed a bug where a player going unresponsive could sometimes cause an online game to get stuck for everyone else.
• Lobby “Start Game” Freeze: Fixed an issue where a non-host/client player pressing the “Start Game” button in an online lobby would cause their game to become completely unresponsive.

• Just Dance VFX Glitch: Fixed a visual bug where joining an in-progress Just Dance online match during a Hot Number card effect would cause the visual effects to persist permanently and the background tracks to overlap for the rest of the session.
• Card Hover Flickering: Addressed an annoying UI quirk on PC where placing the mouse cursor exactly between two cards in your hand would cause both cards to flicker rapidly.
• Rabbids Visual Artifacts: Fixed a graphical issue in the Rabbids DLC where thin, dark lines would appear on the Rabbid character models when they turned their heads.
• “Just Dnace” Card: Fixed an issue where an incorrect card called “Just Dnace Machine” could sometimes appear in the card descriptions during DLC games.
• Polish & Chinese Language Fixes: Resolved a bug where some characters were not displaying correctly when the game was set to Polish or Chinese languages.
• Lobby Disconnect Fix: Fixed an issue where the “Play again,” “View player card,” and “Exit” button prompts would remain stuck on the screen during a match if a player opened a profile in the lobby just before the game started.

• Plus multiple other bug fixes and stability improvements to keep things running smoothly.

UNO – Ver. ???

• Release date: October 21st 2025
• Patch notes:

New DLC: UNO Show ’em No Mercy is Here!

You asked, we listened! Show ‘em No Mercy has been by far the most popular request to add to UNO™. Prepare yourselves for the most cutthroat, chaotic, and ruthless expansion yet!

The Show ’em No Mercy DLC introduces a whole new level of mayhem to your games with its merciless ruleset, extreme stacking penalties, and a host of pain-inducing action and wild cards.

Here are just some of the rules you’ll need to master to survive to the end:

• Stacking is MANDATORY! If a Draw card is played, you can stack the penalty by playing your own Draw card of equal or higher value. The stack continues until a player can’t play a Draw card and must draw the full accumulated penalty. Ouch!

• Eliminate players to be the last one standing! If a player’s hand ever grows to 25 cards or more, they are immediately knocked out of the game. While you can still win by playing all your cards and yelling “UNO!”, you can now also win by being the last one left in the game. Can you take out your opponents one-by-one?

• New cards to wreak havoc! Along with some massive new Draw cards (Draw 10, anyone?), you can now Skip Everyone to skip all other players and take another turn, Discard All to discard every card of a matching colour, or play the Wild Color Roulette card where the next player must draw cards until they find the colour of their choice.

• Even your numbered cards are out to get you! Play a 0, and all players must pass their entire hand to the next player in the current direction of play. Play a 7, and you MUST swap your entire hand with any other player of your choice. It’ll change the course of the game right up to the last moment when someone could ditch their huge hand and snatch a win from the player just about to call “UNO!”

Get ready for endless nights of intense grudges and monumental comebacks!

A Fresh Look, More Online Options, and a Brand New Coins System

We’ve rolled out a major menu overhaul that not only gives the interface a sleek and streamlined look, but also introduces new features to make your online games easier to set-up and customise. We’re also welcoming a new Coins system that rewards you for every game you play, giving you full control over your cosmetics.

The key changes we’ve made include:

• Quickplay gets you into an online game faster! If you’re the type of player who doesn’t mind which flavour of UNO™ you play, then this is the feature for you. The new ‘Quickplay’ option lets you jump straight into any available online game. No need to pick a mode and limit your choice – just click and play!

• MyDesign your way! We’ve unified the MyDesign and Classic modes so you no longer have to pick a separate game mode to play online with your customised designs. But don’t worry if you prefer the Classic look, because you can now choose to see only your designs during a game.

• A new Coins reward system! We’re introducing a new virtual Coins system that rewards you as you play and lets you control your collection. The more you play, the more you get, in the brand new in-game Store.

Two New House Rules Change Up the Game

We’re excited to introduce two brand-new house rules to UNO™:

• Skip n’ Flip! You don’t have to take that hit from a Draw card. If you’re holding a matching coloured Skip or Reverse card, you can bounce that penalty over to the next player or push it back to the person who played the Draw card.

• Draw & Play! Relax the rules a little and let players facing a draw penalty take a turn after they’ve pulled out their cards. Whether it’s just one from the Draw Pile or a full penalty stack, you can now play a card on the same turn.

Both Skip n’ Flip and Draw & Play can be combined with any other of the existing six house rules: Stacking, 7-0, Jump-In, Force Play, No Bluffing, and Draw to Match. What’s your new favourite combo?

Embrace the Season with the Retro Autumn Cosmetics

If all of that wasn’t enough for you, we’ve got the Retro Autumn cosmetic pack to transform your game into a cosy autumnal scene. This charming cosmetic pack features a beautiful woodland-theme gameboard, a nostalgic card deck, a scattering of leaves VFX, a heartfelt soundtrack ‘Beneath Golden Leaves’, a whimsical Owl hoot UNO Call, four super-cute retro avatars, and a frame that’ll give you good vibes.

You’ll find the Retro Autumn cosmetic pack available in the new in-game Store, which you can unlock with Coins. We’re giving everyone 500 Coins to get you started so you can choose your favourite item to go and get right now!

PATCH NOTES:

This update isn’t just about the big headline features – we’ve also included some important fixes. Here are the highlights:
