Gunstoppable Patch 26 Closes Out Demo With Controller, Localization, and Speed Fixes

CAGEStudios has shipped Patch 26 for Gunstoppable, marking the last update to the game's demo before it is taken down at launch. The developer has confirmed a launch date of August 5th and a price of $9.99, which reflects a 20% launch discount.

What changed

  • Controller aim reworked — aim assistance, sensitivity curves, and damping have all been revised in what the developer describes as a significant overhaul.
  • Performance optimizations — the patch targets smoother performance on lower-end hardware, with a low graphics mode noted as an additional option.
  • Full localization added — the game now supports eight languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, French, German, and Korean.
  • Enemy behavior improved — animations were revised and a bug causing all enemies to attack simultaneously was fixed.
  • Speedometer reworked — speed now multiplies both damage and attack/reload speed; the depletion rate has been adjusted to make maintaining speed more forgiving.
  • Dozens of bugfixes and miscellaneous improvements included.

For players who have been running the demo, Patch 26 represents the last chance to try the game before the demo is pulled — after which the full release takes over on August 5th.
