Dumb Ways to Build - Update v4.0
Updated: 22 minutes ago
Hey Builders,
The 8 Player Lobbies & Costumes Update v4.0 for Dumb Ways to Build released today across all platforms, introducing a highly requested feature!
We’ve expanded the lobby size so you can now assemble a crew of up to 8 players, and put your friendships and construction skills to the test. Expect more chaos, sabotage and hilarious fails. Please do keep in mind that this feature is currently in Beta, so we are still continuing to optimize server performance, and you may encounter some other unexpected issues. Continue to report any bugs you encounter to our team and we will get onto the job!
To get into the spirit of Halloween, we have introduced full-body costumes for players! Transform your bean-sona into an Alien, Skeleton or perhaps a character you may recognise from the Dumb Ways to Die song.
This free update also includes a spooky takeover of the lobby, extra accessories and plenty of bug fixes and quality of live improvements.
Check out the full Update Notes below!
Happy building!
