Update notes via Steam Community
The 7th patch is here and it's a big one! This patch includes big balance changes, an updated storefront , and an upgrade to the bots.
We heard your feedback, looked at the data and are continuing to try and make Battle Bands better!
We can't wait to have you play Battle Bands and hear your thoughts on the changes and game in general!

New Features


Quality of Life Changes

Store Update
The Store now holds three "Featured Items" that rotate on a 3 day schedule to offer more awesome things to wear, drive, and play!



Bot Override Command
Bots can now be asked to overwrite the current Song Section - useful for those crazy X length song sections or any song section that just doesn't seem worth completing.



Bot Improvements
The Bots will now be smarter about checking in with the rest of the team before playing bummers or quicks. This makes them generally smarter and more willing to share energy when they only have weaker cards to play.

More Card Visibility in Royale
Upgraded cards are now visible in your deck while on the Royale bracket screen.

New Cosmetics!
