Hey Wanderers!

Today we are releasing our first bug fix patch for Escape the Backrooms since the May 28 PC update and launch on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. In-game, this update will appear as version 1.3.1 (3597) on all platforms. The patch addresses a number of player reports since the May 28 update and introduces more improvements.

We are working hard on addressing as many reports as possible, including multiplayer connection and voice chat bugs that you’ve been reporting (thanks so much for that!) We have some fixes in this patch, and more are planned in future updates, as the team continues to investigate and prioritise these topics. In case you missed it, we have a quick [form for these two points](https://forms.office.com/e/NDnqPkBriL) we’d love for you to fill in, so we can get as much information as possible over to the crew.
