11 bit studios has rolled out their first substantial update for Frostpunk 2, introducing several player-requested features and performance improvements to the post-apocalyptic city builder.

Key Improvements

The update focuses on enhancing player experience with two major quality-of-life changes:

• Construction Cancellation: Players can now cancel building construction at any time
• Ice Block Flexibility: The ice block clearing system now supports up to eight cells on the map

Technical Enhancements

The Polish development team has put significant effort into optimizing the game’s performance. According to the official Steam page, these improvements should result in smoother gameplay across various system configurations.

Future Plans

While Frostpunk 2 remains a PC exclusive for now, 11 bit studios has confirmed plans for:

• PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series releases
• At least two story-based expansions
• Continued optimization updates

The team at 11 bit studios showcased their commitment to community feedback through this update, as noted in their recent developer blog.

Platform Availability

Currently, Frostpunk 2 is exclusively available on PC through Steam and other digital platforms. Console players will need to wait for the upcoming PS5 and Xbox Series versions, though no specific release date has been announced yet.

This update marks the beginning of what appears to be a robust post-launch support plan for Frostpunk 2, suggesting players can expect more improvements and content in the coming months.
