Price stayed put
CayPlay kept the price steady into 1.0 — treat Early Access ownership as full release access on Steam. Console storefronts list their own regional prices.
What did 1.0.43 / 1.0.48 change?
Post-1.0 numbered hotfixes focus on multiplayer reliability, visitor pressure, and accessibility — not a second content map.
| Build | Highlights | Who cares |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0.43 | Saboteur visitor trait · lobby player ban · non-host blob placement fix · chlorine multi-bottle throw fix · host purchase/paint controls | multiplayer · cleaning |
| 1.0.48 | Move pools that contain blobs · Steam ID spoof protections for friend-only lobbies · disable staff quitting / NPC retaliation option · place-speed limit to reduce online crashes · 1440×1080 tooltip fix | staff guide |
Did 1.0 add cross-platform play?
No confirmed PC ↔ console cross-play in official store copy as of this wiki pass. Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S each support online co-op on that platform. Mixed-platform lobbies are not something this wiki will promise.
How many players?
Up to four online. Details and role splits: multiplayer.
Xbox / PS5 notes
Console online may require the platform’s multiplayer subscription. Check the store capability list before inviting.
