Update 2.1.0


Welcome to the first update of Season 2!

This update brings a new development to private matches! In the first of many improvements, we have added map selection to the feature so you can play in the arena of your choice.

We’re excited to see how many of you love Power Shift! Very soon, we’ll be adding new maps to this mode so you can ride the platform to its destination in a whole new setting! This and more, coming in Season 2 – so stay tuned!
