Frontier Developments has announced the first major Planet Coaster 2 update, which is set to arrive in December. It'll bring some pretty essential features that were missing from the game at launch.
Per a post on Steam, the first major new addition to the theme park management sim will be edge scrolling, which will allow you to move your mouse to the extremes of the game's window in order to move the camera. That seems like the kind of thing you'd want in your game on day one, if you ask me.
It's not just edge scrolling, of course. The update will also bring other UI enhancements like browser tabs remaining on screen while browsing tool menus, as well as better responsiveness, adjustments to the color picker feature, and more.
Other improvements promised by the update include a new guest tolerance heatmap that shows each guest's tolerance for Fear, Nausea, and Ride Height, as well as "additional guest and staff balancing".
In general terms, the update isn't looking to rock the boat; rather, it contains a slew of smaller and more tweak-style changes that should serve to make your gameplay experience smoother without completely changing the fundamentals of Planet Coaster 2.
Alongside the announcement of said update, Frontier also released a video showing off some of the creations the Planet Coaster 2 community has already made, and just as you'd expect, some of them are pretty darn impressive. You can check that video out here.
If you're not familiar, Planet Coaster 2 is the sequel to 2016's theme park sim Planet Coaster.
Released last week, the game adds the ability to build water-focused rides, as well as improved building systems, cross-platform co-op play, and much more.
You can check out Planet Coaster 2 right now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The first update for the game is scheduled to arrive in December, but no specific release date has been announced yet.
