We've just dropped a new patch on Steam. Here's the full change list:
Join/invite through Steam
Players can now use the Steam UI to invite their friend to the match their in, or join a match their friend is already in
An option to have unrestricted team switching when creating a match
When this is enabled, players can switch teams regardless of scores, as long as there is a spot on the other team. This allows friends to more easily play on the same team
Improvements to bot behaviour, including having Squigbuggies focus on healing much more. Bots also use dash and some abilities more.
Significant gamepad input improvements
Including driving, aim assist, and adding a new trigger driving setup as an alternative to joystick driving. We've also made gamepad fully usable in Creation Mode
Fixed issue with clients sometimes not joining the new match when the host is migrated
Fixed issue with UI disappearing in certain cases
Friendly Squigbuggies now appear as a blue + on the HUD instead of a dot
Added race waypoint counter to Kustom Rally and Creation Mode
Various UI and flow improvements, as well as bug fixes
Optimizations to Ork characters
Various other small fixes/improvements
Deffkopta can no longer stun itself with its own bomb, and fixed an issue with flying speed. Also increased overall health by 5%
Trukk now has +15 health and does 5% more damage per second
Onto da pretty big newz...

So far we've seen great reception to the announcement, so you can expect plenty of gits to be JOININ' DA WAAAGH! once the console versions release š„
There will be an FAQ in the future about crossplay and anything else pertaining to the console release (that is relevant to you guys)
