Patch 16.0: The Invasion Begins

The Bazaar · published 1 Jul 2026, 16:34 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Ranking/Rating Changes

  • We are making several adjustments to the current ranking system with the following goals:

    • Make it harder to achieve Legendary Rating

    • Decrease the time to climb to your expected Rating range once you reach Legendary

    • Reduce the punishment for not hitting 10 wins at high rating values

  • Legendary players now start at 800 Rating

  • Rating losses have been significantly reduced, more so at the lower wins end

  • Reduced the ranking point changes for Gold and Diamond tier, requiring a higher average wins to achieve the next tier

Economy Changes

  • Starting Income 5 (from 7)

  • We are trying to shift some stuff around in the economy, so we are lowering the base Income but improving a variety of economy nodes

Tournament Mode Testing

  • Tournament Mode has arrived for Public Testing

  • As this is a testing environment, please be aware that there may be bugs, interruptions and unannounced downtime/maintenance of this branch

  • In order to play Tournament Mode, you must manually switch to the Public Test Realm branch on Steam

    • You can do this by right-clicking on the Bazaar in your Steam Library, selecting Properties and finding Game Versions and Betas

    • Enter the following Steam Access Code under Private Versions to unlock the Branch: 17IR8wb70MJOxCCh

    • Once the version is unlocked, you can select PTR in the list

    • This will initiate a download

    • Note that you will need to use this same menu to return back to the normal version of the game

  • After the game updates, you will need to create a new account

    • This account will only be usable on this branch and does not interact with your normal Bazaar account

  • If the game doesn't load properly, try using Verify Game Files as switching branches like this can often cause issues

  • Tournament Mode can be freely shared/streamed by all
