Happy Holidays, Platers!
You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout - cause we’re telling you that the PlateUp! Buffet Update will be released on December 11th, 2025!
Our PlateUp! elves have been working hard over in Santa’s Workshop to bring you a wide selection of new content, balance changes, seasonal fun and more this Holiday season!
Ho-ho-hold on to your aprons, we have a lot to go over today! Let’s start by talking about the highly re-requested North Pole setting since we’re bringing it back for good! Just pass the elves some ingredients on the grabbers and they’ll process them by chopping, kneading, or cooking them. They’ll even clean your dirty dishes and fill up cups of coffee for you!
We’re also introducing PlateUp's newest, largest map setting: the Banquet Hall! With an open floor plan, it's perfect for building big. The kitchen might be narrow, but it's easy to get into, with doors that open wider than Santa’s bag and an extra long serving hatch. If you want to serve as many customers as you can, as fast as you can, then this setting is for you.
As a nice treat, the Buffet Update will coincide with the in-game Holidays Event, which will be active from December 11th to January 5th, so we’re hanging the stockings and rigging up the lights in HQ to celebrate! During the event, Holiday variants of both settings will be available as daily/weekly runs and in the setting selector!
You’ll be delighted to hear that we checked the list twice, and ended up adding two new mains with this update. Both dishes feature the brand new piecemeal ordering system, which makes it easier to see what customers want. We’re also introducing new dish variant cards, which allow you to add some extra challenge to your runs - or avoid it!
If you’re feeling naughty, you can sneak a peek at the update early, and since we’re giving some of your favorite PlateUp! Content Creators early access this week we won’t tell Santa. First look at the Buffet Update is a special Jingle Jam Yogscast stream happening today!
⏰ When: 9th December at 5PM GMT / 12PM ET / 9AM PT
We’ve wrapped this update like a present, complete with a shiny bow of bug fixes! You can look forward to more details and full patch notes on release day. We do want to set the expectation that some platforms will receive the game update at different times throughout the day.
