Hello Bosses!

Our final major update before 1.0, Update 0.9, is now live!

With this update, the long-awaited Gamepad Support has arrived in beta. You can now personally handle Cartel deliveries, and thanks to our completely reworked save system, going back to previous saves is now much easier.

This update also brings major improvements to the driving experience, new animations, city adjustments, optimization work, balancing changes, and many bug fixes.

We especially want you to try out the new gamepad support and share your experience, feedback, and any issues you encounter with us.

Patch Notes

🎮 Gamepad Support - Beta

Gamepad support is finally here!

Both PlayStation and Xbox controllers now have their own dedicated UI elements, tutorials, button prompts, and interface support.

You can now see which buttons perform each action directly on the screen while playing.

Gamepad support is currently in Beta, so your feedback is extremely important to us. Please let us know about any issues you encounter or anything you think could be improved.

🚚 You Can Now Handle Cartel Deliveries Yourself

A new delivery option has been added to Cartel contracts.

Instead of automatically sending your goods, you can now personally handle the delivery and earn more money in return.

But remember:

More money means more risk.

Once your delivery vehicle hits the road, make sure to follow the convoy with your own vehicle and your men. Enemy attacks may happen during the journey or directly at the delivery location.

Protect the vehicle and make sure the shipment reaches its destination safely!

💾 Completely Reworked Save System

We have completely redesigned the save system.

The total number of main save slots has now been increased to 8.

In addition, each save slot will keep up to 10 days of previous saves.

Made the wrong decision?

Did something go wrong?

You can now easily return to a save from 1, 2, or even several days earlier without losing your entire progress.

🚘 New Vehicle Animations & Driving Improvements

New animations and driving improvements have been added to make the overall vehicle experience smoother and more immersive.

Characters now use new enter and exit animations when getting in and out of vehicles.

A new trunk opening animation has also been added.

We have also made several improvements to steering response, vehicle handling, and the overall driving experience.

🔫 Combat Fixes

We fixed an issue where bullets could sometimes fail to properly reach enemies while fighting near certain environmental objects, such as trash bins and similar props.

🚗 Vehicle Selling Fix

Fixed an issue that could prevent vehicles from being sold at the Chop Shop or Used Car Dealer while 2-3 characters were inside the vehicle.

🛒 Market Recipes

Drink recipes in the Market can now be:

• Renamed

• Deleted

🏙️ City Improvements & Collider Fixes

We fixed many invisible wall and collider issues across the map.

The city has also received additional environmental adjustments, improvements, and new design touches.

🔊 New Sound Effects, Optimization & General Improvements

New sound effects have been added to the game.

We have also continued working on performance improvements and additional optimizations.

Alongside these changes, this update includes various balancing adjustments, quality improvements, and many additional bug fixes.

1.0 Is Almost Here, Bosses!

And we wanted to leave you with a small spoiler. :)

Remember, for us, 1.0 is not the end. It is the beginning of a new era.

With your support, feedback, and suggestions, The Boss Gangster: Criminal Empire will continue to grow and evolve.
