About the Game
Gang Beasts is a silly multiplayer party game with surly gelatinous characters, brutal slapstick fight sequences, and absurd hazardous environments, set in the mean streets of Beef City.
Customise your character and fight local and online enemies in the melee game mode or fight with friends against the gangs of Beef City in the gang game mode.
Gang Beasts is made by Boneloaf, a small independent game studio making a series of experimental multiplayer party games.

Gang Beasts patch 1.28 comes out today for currently supported platforms. The 1.28 patch addresses a recently disclosed security vulnerability that can compromise the security of games made with specific versions of the Unity editor. Unity has published resources for patching versions of the Unity editor with this vulnerability (this includes Unity 2021.3.33f1, the build of Unity that Gang Beasts patch 1.27 was made with).
To remove the potential for this vulnerability to be exploited it is important to delete older versions of Gang Beasts and install patch 1.28 as soon as you can.
Gang Beasts 1.28 also makes back-flipping less difficult compared with patch 1.27.
The 1.28 release does not include new stages or costumes or other content and modifications but we plan to give more information on development this month.
The key modifications and fixes made in the 1.28 build are:
implemented patch for Unity security vulnerability
modified character physics to make backflips less difficult

Gang Beasts Update 1.24 is releasing today for all currently supported platforms.
This update is primarily focussed on bug fixes, and there is no new content.
The key modification to Gang Beasts in this update is the implementation of a new Interactables System that will allow us to streamline how in-game objects are managed and interacted with in the game engine. This system improves performance by organising interactable objects into optimised lists, therefore making Gang Beasts interacting with the stages faster and more efficient. This change should fix a longstanding issue where Gang Beasts would target the air, instead of the intended target, when too many colliders were in target range.
The introduction of this improved Interactables System should help the game feel more responsive and intuitive. It has also been introduced to allow us to experiment with more interesting interactions between new and existing game mechanics, for example the upcoming Birds escalation that will be introduced in our next update.
We are now exclusively working on Update 1.25, which will introduce new costumes and a new stage to Gang Beasts - Crane.
Here is some gameplay from a recent playtest:
See you soon.

Gang Beasts patch 1.23 is releasing today for all currently supported platforms.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6697542/44cb1286f40d0bf4647fe2eaecf664cfad478d78.jpg
There are a number of bug fixes in the 1.23 release but no new stages or costumes. The key modification to the game in this build is the implementation of Unity’s Addressables Asset System, the adoption of this system standardises and optimises the process for testing and releasing game content.
The Addressables implementation is a significant modification to the game and we expect the 1.23 build to trigger some limited stability issues on Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms. The instructions for fixing this issue are:
Windows:
macOS:
SteamOS/Linux (including Steam Deck):
If you playing Gang Beasts on a Steam Deck, switch to Desktop Mode first then follow the above SteamOS/Linux steps.
Beware of hostile cephalopods!

Is It a Crane? (Update 1.21.1)
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6697542/ebf187070a52139d07a828c5e969299881353e1d.png
Roses are red, Violets are violet, Is It a Crane? It is a Crane! It has been ten full years of cartoon violence since the Gang Beasts 0.0.0 pre-alpha builds were published on Valentines Day 2014. For ten years the foaming masses of Beef City have slowly coagulated into gelatinous agglomerations of hostility, spreading through the grim streets of the Meatropolis.
We're profoundly thankful to have an audience and community for Boneloaf's games and toys and for the miscellaneous scenes of silliness and callous brutality demonstrated in Gang Beasts over the last decade. A glut of technical debt have made it increasingly frustrating and difficult to release frequent fixes and content in the last 2-3 years.
We've been working with Rocket Science and Unity to pass/remove these limitations for some time and expect to build to a more stable release cadence from this year.
Posts
This post gives information on the 1.21.1 stability build (released with this post) and the other builds we expect to release in the coming months. A series of posts with more explicit information on what is being made for Gang Beasts are currently being written for gangbeasts.game. If there are subjects you want information on please send suggestions to Boneloaf on social media or to [email protected].
1.21.1 (stability)
1.21.1 stability build is the second stability release since Rocket Science took on support for a glut of important systems (builds, online, UI, and others) in February last year. The 1.21.1 build addresses a number of stability and performance issues and also has some small cosmetic modifications and standardisations, see the key modifications and fixes section at the end of the post for information.
Other Builds
The 1.21.1 build is the first of 4 builds expected to release in the first 3-6 months of 2024.
The next build to follow the 1.21.1 build is the Addressables Asset System build, addressables support has been implemented to optimise the testing and distribution of game content. Followed by an interactables build introducing a modified interactables system needed for the crane stage. Finishing with the crane stage which will release with some miscellaneous costumes.
Crane
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6697542/e3fca8caa57a9cc57a3ed6e668fe062bdd989f94.png
The crane stage is a ginormous shipping container crane from the mouldering Beef City Docks with cabin controls for operating the crane, and some truculent and aggressive birds.
Crane includes the first version of new dynamic AI navigation system, this system will facilitate some planned modification to character and escalation AI and potentially support escalations that minimise some stage and game mode exploits, don't upset the birds! Be warned!
Crane also introduces the first version of a new “drivable” system, this system supports players to get into the driver's seat of the crane cab and control the crane mechanism.
Stay safe, wear a hard hat!
The key modifications and fixes in patch 1.21.1 are:
- fixed an issue that made the cephalopod tentacles fail to pass the surface of the water on aquarium
- fixed an issue with the sand text on the fish helmet costume part
- fixed an issue with game cameras not blurring when pause menus are invoked
- fixed some issues that stall loading for some online game modes
- fixed an issue that stalls loading for online game modes if moving to a second account on hardware with multiple account support
- fixed an issue that stalls loading for online game modes if an internet connection is not available
- fixed an issue that triggers duplicates of the "2124-3001 Account error" message in some contexts
- fixed an issue that made loading a second stage longer in some game modes
- fixed an error that compromised the remapping of the x/y axis on game controllers
- fixed an error that conflated the pooling systems for the gang and football online game modes
- fixed an issue that made the default game menu fail to show in some contexts
- fixed an issue that made particle systems render erroneously on towers
- fixed some issues that compromise frame rate in some contexts
- added Rocket Science ident to the splash sequence
- removed the Coatsink ident from the splash sequence
- standardised water shaders on trawler
- optimised matchmaking scheme to stabilise online game modes

Gang Beasts patch 1.21 is releasing today for all currently supported platforms! The 1.21 patch addresses a number of miscellaneous issues which will allow us to focus on new content in subsequent updates. The 1.21 build does not include new stages or costumes and is focused on these fixes (see below for more information).
A new stage and new costumes will be released soon, once we’re confident it is ready and subject to it passing quality assurance.
The key modifications and fixes made in the 1.21 build:
• New languages! We now support Japanese, Korean, Chinese (simplified) and Chinese (traditional).
• New Menu font to improve legibility.
• Tweaked buoyancy physics across all stages that use buoyancy.
• Improved Tentacles AI on the Aquarium stage.
• Addressed the problem of players being randomly kicked from local games.
• Corrected left and right grabs when interacting with objects.
• Improved stage lighting across all stages.
• Enhanced football physics to prevent clipping into the ground.
• Adjusted ball deflation rates in football mode.
• Updated joints in the stage to AutoJointV2 for improved stability.
• Made various improvements to costume physics.
• Fixed the Beanie to function properly.
• Resolved the collider issue with the Life Vest.
• Fixed collision problems with the Deep Sea Helmet.
• Enhanced escalation mechanics in the Aquarium stage.
• Stability updates to Vents.
• Increased stability of bricks on Girder.
• Stability updates to Roof.
• Improved Glass Fracture on Roof.
• Made improvements to ice breaking on Buoy.
• Improved Stability to Fence objects on Wheel.
• Added water to Containers.
• Stability updates on Subway.
• Stabilized the antenna on Buoy to reduce excessive shaking of characters and camera.
• Fixes to matchmaking in Gang Mode.
We’re sorry we didn’t publish more frequent content, fixes, or development information since we released the Trawler stage in December 2021. A long sequence of technical issues and difficulties have limited our capacity to publish successive updates since Gang Beasts was fully released.
However, since the end of 2021 we’ve worked (with partners at Coatsink, Robot Teddy, SuperGenius, Unity, Rocket Science, and Lockit QA) to address technical issues, standardise processes to minimise technical debt and build a platform for more frequent content releases. The rest of this post summarises some of what is being worked on currently.
We’ve made a number of key staff hires to supplement resources at Boneloaf and have more in-house staff working to support Gang Beasts. These hires include a Producer, a Senior Technical Animator, multiple Senior and general Engineering staff, Marketing, Player Support, Event and Operations specialists, and an internal QA team. You can find out more about everyone over here.
Boneloaf’s agreement with key development partner Coatsink ended at the start of 2023. We want to thank the staff and management at Coatsink for their support and friendship since 2013 and appreciate the significant contributions Coatsink staff have made to the development and success of Gang Beasts and Boneloaf.
Rocket Science
Since February 2023, Boneloaf has worked closely with Rocket Science. This team brings a glut of resources and experience working with platforms, UX/UI, technical art, tools, and services to the development of Gang Beasts. Currently, staff at Rocket Science are working on a series of important modifications to online systems (to modernise the technology), standardise our build pipelines, implement a new UI system, provide support for game modes, and other systems.
We expected transitioning to a new development partner could be a protracted and disruptive process, especially transitioning ownership of key development work from third parties, but Rocket Science have made this process as low friction as they could have. We’re excited to now be in a position where we can give more information on the development and future plans for Gang Beasts.
More Beef
Information in this post is limited to Boneloaf, Boneloaf’s partners, and what modifications have been made since the 1.18 build, with some information on technical issues and the next content release. To keep you more up to date, we’re working on a series of posts to give more specific information on current development and planned content which will give more context on what is being done to support Gang Beasts.

The Loading Screen Bug
We are happy to announce we have fixed the notorious loading screen bug, that has been plaguing some people, and we wanted to explain a few things to help shed some light on why it took so long for us t o fix it.
The bug initially was just incredibly hard to reproduce internally, which is the first step towards finding out what was actually happening. To find it we had to create a new debugging tool for the server and client builds to help us track it down. With this new tool we managed to reproduce the issue consistently, and in a way that we could generate logs to help guide us to a solution. This highlighted to us that in fact, it was several bugs manifesting as one! All of which we have fixed and should never rear their ugly heads again.
You may be wondering why we released the previous update with such a glaring bug? Well, to put it simply, it hasn't turned up before. The trigger case is very hardware and connection dependent. Although we have found out that some of the bugs have been there all along, they were very rarely triggered, at least on tests we did with the hardware we have.
It also appears that the more recent optimisations and fixes, which made certain aspects of the game quicker, inflamed the issue, making it more prominent for these users. In addition, there was a significant engine upgrade (Unity 2017 to 2020), which made unnoticed changes to the networking library we use, adding many more avenues for the issue to manifest.
It is annoying that these things happen from time to time (especially for us!), but we are always working to improve Gang Beasts, which has been evolving for 6+ years now. So thank you for being patient with us, and hopefully, we will not have anything as problematic in the future.
The Elimination Bug
Another bug people have been experiencing lately is the characters not getting eliminated when thrown out of stages. This issue was a weird one, that seems to have manifested itself since the engine upgrade. Gang Beasts being such a physics heavy game, any changes to the engine’s physics can have knock-on effects with the gameplay.
We have tried to fix this a few times and, although each attempt reduced its frequency, it was still being triggered. In this update, we have added two more solutions: one that should stop it from happening, and another that will guarantee that if it happens the players get eliminated anyway. The first measure is adding a few more checks to the characters when they enter an Elimination Volume, so it is more likely to be detected, and expanding these volumes further to increase the chance of detection. The second measure bypasses the physics system entirely, and will always eliminate players regardless of velocities or any other issues inherent to physics that can prevent the first method from working.
