Today Keepsake Games have shared details on what’s next for Jump Space, including a big update slated to arrive before the end of March that focuses on stability and replayability.
We’re big fans of Jump Space – as are quite a few other people – and now that all that festive season nonsense is out of the way, the team are back at work on the game. In a new post shared to the community via Steam, the team at Keepsake games have detailed what’s next following the various updates they’ve released previously.
This time, Jump Space ‘Update 3’ is slated to arrive before the end of March this year, and per the developers, this updates is all about ‘Stability and Replayability’.
Per Keepsake Games, “We still want to make sure the game is performing consistently for all users, as crashes and connection issues are still a major buzzkill for some players. Some are crashing right when missions end, or experience stuttering even on Low settings or when interacting with items. These are all things we’re super aware of and working on. This includes the Xbox version of the game as well, which is still suffering from bigger issues (thanks for your patience). We won’t stop until everyone has a more pleasant experience.“
The big focus on this, says Keepsake, is to allow them to “move faster and safer with future content later this year.”
Here’s a list of what they’re working on, and do note that they specifically state this list in not final, and shouldn’t be seen as some complete list of what the major update will include.
- Evaluating a move to Unity 6 for performance and stability boosts, across both platforms.
- Connection fixes and networked physics, bringing back the football (and grenades eventually).
- An Engineer Panel to the Hangar to preview your component layouts.
- Various changes to exploration and Points of Interest within existing levels. New sectors with focus on optional encounters.
- Loot distribution tweaks and enemy behavior/mechanics (with new variants)
- Mission structure improvements to create more interesting player choices and variation.
- SLIDING!!!
Beyond this, the team have also promised the return of more Q&A streams in 2026, so keep your eyes peeled on their official Discord server for more.
