You know what's better than playing Sumo?
It's creating a party with your friends and enjoying the fun together!

Unfortunately, we had a couple of bugs here and there in the party creation process, but we are fixing most of them with today's update!

Some of these bugs include:

• party members not seeing an invited player joining their party
  
• some party members entering matchmaking while some other players were still choosing characters/arenas
  
• various problems with disconnecting players not being removed from the party
  

This is part 1 of a more extensive fix to the party system: the second and final patch for parties has to be released together with the console version, which is currently undergoing approval. Will keep you posted on that!
