Gorilla Tag's Pirates Update Brings Live Treasure Hunt, Ghostly Cosmetics, and Map Tools

The Pirates Update for Gorilla Tag arrives with a live in-game event as its centerpiece: Banana Beard's Treasure Hunt, set at the Beach location on Saturday, 8 August 2026 at 11AM PDT / 2PM EDT / 7PM BST. The announcement hints that players should arrive with a full charge and suggests bringing "power tools" — the nature of the treasure-seeking mechanic left deliberately vague.

What changed

  • A timed live event, Banana Beard's Treasure Hunt, with earnable rewards and a free cosmetic
  • New Ghostly Pirate Gear cosmetics, described as interactive
  • The Ghost Medallion, a new item that spreads the ghostly visual effect to nearby players
  • Two Virtual Stump bug fixes: a download crash and a party map loading bug
  • Virtual Stump OG and Rotation assets are now available for mappers
  • Monke Gravity Controls added for creators
  • V.I.M. Early Access gains Time and Weather Controls, usable by the host in private rooms on supported maps

The creator-side additions are notable in scope — gravity controls and environmental time/weather settings expand what community mappers can author without touching the live game's infrastructure.

For most players, the live event window on 8 August is the immediate priority; missing it likely means missing at least some of the associated rewards.
