New Room: The Ritz Cinema

A grand old-style picture house with a lounge bar, a pool table and rows of plush seats. Pick it when you create a room.

Pool Tables in 5 Rooms

Rack up 8-ball in Ritz Cinema, Zen House, Philosopher's Den, Observatory and Love Cinema, each under its own warm lamp.

Board Games Go 3D

Chess, Checkers, Go and Connect 4 now have real 3D pieces that slide, hop and drop.

Also New

• Voice Activation: due to popular demand, pick Push-to-Talk or Voice Activation in Settings › Audio › Microphone. A green mic shows when you're live.
• Lock Screen: a new button in the toolbar that stops stray clicks on the TV.
• What's New: a quick look at each update when you launch the game.

Improved

• Typing on the TV: click a text box to log in or search. A bar under the screen shows what you type, with passwords hidden.
• toolbar: just start typing to search YouTube or enter a link. Click outside to close it.
• Chat: arrow keys, word jumps and work like a normal text box.
• Observatory: the main screen is much bigger.
• Cozy Halo: the upstairs bedroom is now a TV lounge.
• Slimmer, cleaner key prompts and better ad blocking.

Fixed

• The video player no longer disappears at random.
• Clicks no longer pass through the toolbar onto the TV.
• Falling out of the map now puts you back safely.

Heads up: everyone needs to update to play together. Friends on the old version won't see your rooms until they update.

Thanks for watching with us. See you at the Ritz.
