Blue Prince, the second highest-reviewed game of 2025, has finally released a new patch for PlayStation 5 players to dive deep into its secrets without worrying about pesky bugs ruining their fun. The update not only fixes a game-breaking bug that has plagued players for weeks but also addresses an exploit that allowed infinite items, much to the dismay of some hardcore fans. The developer, Tonda Ros, took to Steam to explain that the bug was caused by a duplication of save data, preventing players from progressing past a certain point in the game.
The game revolves around exploring a mysterious mansion where players must choose their path each day from a deck of cards in search of a hidden 46th room. As players solve puzzles and uncover clues, they unravel the mysteries and backstory of the game, often spending hours navigating its complex labyrinth. However, on the PS5, many players encountered a save bug that reset their progress back to a specific day, leaving them frustrated and disappointed. The Blue Prince subreddit is filled with stories of players losing hours of gameplay due to this issue, with most being affected between day 90 and 150.
Despite the setback, the recent patch ensures that save files should now function properly, as long as players have not deleted or restarted them. Ros reassured players that they should be able to resume their journey in the mansion where they left off before encountering the bug. While it may be a relief for those affected, the loss of unsaved content is still a bitter pill to swallow, especially considering the immersive nature of Blue Prince. The patch also includes various other changes, some of which are kept under wraps to avoid spoilers. Players have noticed fixes to exploits like the Guest Bedroom glitch and the Nurse Station buff, which were being abused by some to gain an unfair advantage. It seems even in the world of Blue Prince, balance must be maintained to ensure a fair playing field.
