Fishing Planet — Bug Fix Patch - Release Note - Version 6.0.2

Hey Anglers,

We’ve just rolled out a major bug-fix patch. This update includes a wide range of fixes and improvements across gameplay systems, Fishing Together sessions, boats and water behavior, UI, missions, and visuals with a strong focus on polishing the Norway map, improving performance, and boosting overall game stability.

We’ve also made balance adjustments to some of the largest fish in Skårland Fjord: Unique Atlantic Halibut, Unique Greenland Shark, Unique European Sea Sturgeon, and Unique Porbeagle Shark. After analyzing landing-time statistics, we’ve made these giants slightly easier and faster to reel in, and increased their XP rewards so the challenge feels more satisfying and rewarding.
