ULTRAKILL — Fraud Hotfix #1

Fraud Hotfix #1

**

MACHINES, WE HAVE A HOTFIX FOR YOU

** But before we get to the patch notes, I just wanted to take a second and say WOW.

**

The release of Ultrakill: Layer 8 - Fraud was HUGE.

** We had nearly 72,000 people playing the game at once. Nearly triple the amount of players we had for the launch of Layer 7 - Violence or the ULTRA_REVAMP last year.

More than giant multiplayer games like Apex Legends and Helldivers 2.

**

Crazy.

**

We also launched some new merch...
Including MINOS PRIME PLUSHIES!

Don't wannt buy stuff?! Well we're also having a giveaway!

Wanna know where all our money is going?!
CHARITY!
