Current official patches that change how you play

These are Dazed Games Steam news items, not player guesses:

• 1.1.0 "The Islet Update" — the first content update. New: a PEAK bundle, a new weapon, multiple mini islands, more creatures, a new mini-boss, more items, a new bait, a new NPC, new achievements, a new outfit. Changes: sound-effect volumes adjusted and the distance between islands reworked. The studio named none of the new content, so no names are given here — see the note on the island progression guide.
• 1.0.12 — Steam Cloud saves; piranha rebalanced; tuna slightly nerfed; item velocity capped so drops are harder to lose; FishNet no longer overrides max FPS in a lobby; final boss takes explosive damage even on the tail. No new numbers were published for the fish nerfs.
• 1.0.11 — Steam Deck Verified and GeForce NOW; toggle aim/sprint, hold-to-attack, nametag toggle; save-file corruption check + backups; island 6 roulette table moved; dropped weapons orange / dead players turquoise; own explosives kill you even with friendly fire off; iron sights removed from shop; cannot downgrade suppressor to compensator; drip parrotfish can be cooked.
• 1.0.10 — dip cooked weapons/tools in water to clean them; up to 64 ground items persist between sessions (weapons, tools, quest items and creatures first); slight Anglerfish nerf; last-death Radar X removed.
• 1.0.9 — Easy / Hard difficulty (Easy: −25% creature HP, −50% damage; Hard: +25% HP, +25% damage).
• 1.0.5 — private invite lobbies; cannot travel to locked islands anymore.
• 1.0.4 — 8-player lobbies; Pufferfish and Whale nerfed; intended path to the final island made easier to see.
