Early Access Update 7.1

Hey, Party-goers!

Early Access Update 7.1 launches on September 22nd, at 11:30 AM PDT / 18:30 UTC, after a 90-minute downtime at 10:00 AM PDT / 17:00 UTC! This update introduces exciting new visual and navigational improvements to Party Pass, and a new way to play Blankos with your friends!

Party Pass UI Update

Let’s be honest. We all love to Brawl for the fun of it, but chasing those sweet, sweet rewards and completing challenges is a big motivation for plenty of party-goers. With the rollout of Party Pass UI update, we aim to make those challenges clearer and more accessible to the player and to make claiming your rewards more satisfying.

On the Desk

Starting with the Desk, you’ll always have a heads up on what Daily, Weekly, and Seasonal challenges are up for grabs. This improved design also shows your progress to the next Hype Tier at the top, so you’ll always know when your next reward is within reach. You’ll also see at a glance when you have rewards to collect and how many are available for collection, being able to click this button and be taken to claim your rewards quicker than ever!

Rewards Track Redesign

We’ve cleaned up the Rewards Track screen, so you can easily navigate upcoming rewards and more clearly identify when key rewards like NFTs will be unlocked! Grow your collection faster with exclusive gear unlocked in Party Pass +.

Improved Challenge Objective Communication

Want an in-depth look at all of your challenges? The improved Challenges screen makes tracking all of your Daily, Weekly, and Seasonal Challenges a breeze, and shows a snapshot of the rewards granted for completing challenges. This includes your special rewards for completing 3 daily challenges or 5 weekly challenges!

In-Game Notification

We’ve also added a new pop-up notification that will appear in the upper right corner whenever you complete a challenge. Never guess again if you’re wondering if you’ve completed your objective yet!

We hope these new improvements have a big impact on your experience and help you get the most out of Party Pass just in time for Season 1. Now get out there and party, and reap the rewards!

Improved Challenge Details in Brawl Summary

We’ve added additional details to your challenge progress on the Brawl Summary page. Now, you’ll be able to see the rewards each challenge grants for completion!

Brawl With Your Buddies

With the new Social Grouping feature we launched last Patch, we’re already making improvements! Not only can you send invites to non-friends and privately chat with your group mates, you can now Brawl with them as well! Take your group into a Brawl match and determine once and for all, who among your group is the true Brawl Champ!
