The latest update for Blue Prince, version 1.03, has just dropped, bringing some much-needed bug fixes and temporary adjustments. This update targets a late-game issue that could block progress and also addresses several other bugs. Additionally, the credits that usually auto-play on the main menu have been paused for now due to some glitches.
Released back in April, Blue Prince quickly became a standout title in 2025, earning high praise and an impressive score of 89 on OpenCritic. Although it’s been smooth sailing for the most part, keen players quickly found a few hiccups that the developers, Dogubomb, are actively working to resolve.
The latest patch focuses on improving the game by addressing a significant bug involving the save system. Players had reported losing several in-game days, a frustration traced back to the game’s internal save backup feature. For now, they’ve disabled this backup system to prevent further issues, although there’s no word yet on whether it will return.
Another bug led to problems when players tried to continue from the main menu as the credits began to roll. To avoid disruption, Dogubomb has temporarily turned off this automatic feature while they work on a fix.
Besides these major tweaks, the update also polishes some minor details, such as correcting typos and resolving a late-game glitch that occasionally blocked access to certain areas. The update rolled out first on PC via Steam on April 24, and has since made its way to Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, including versions available on Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus.
Here’s a quick rundown of the patch notes:
– Fixed a save file bug causing rollback of progress due to the internal backup system, now disabled.
– Temporarily paused auto-play credits to avoid issues when selecting “continue.”
– Corrected various typographical errors.
– Resolved an obstacle involving a large gear that could block area access under rare conditions.
Blue Prince continues to captivate players with its engaging mix of adventure and puzzles, all wrapped in a story that draws you into its magical mansion. As more players dive in, Dogubomb remains committed to smoothing out the experience.
