We’re back with Update 1.0.2, and first off: thank you. The amount of feedback, reports, and new players jumping into Taxi Chaos 2 has been awesome to see. Keep it coming when you tell us what’s working, what’s not, and where things feel off, it directly helps us prioritize and fix the right stuff.
This update focuses on quality-of-life, stability, and performance, while also adding some new gameplay variety. We’ve been tackling areas where players could get stuck, where progression and Arcade flow needed smoothing, and where the experience needed clearer signposting and more consistency.
Not everything is solved yet but we’re actively working through reports and improving Taxi Chaos 2 step by step. If you encounter bugs, glitches have feature request the best way to reach out to us is at [email protected]
