Summary
v2.7.0 is the current public Steam branch (July 12, 2026). Headline additions: the official Egypt map, per-map random lottery toggles, random elements on Penguin Hotel, and a HIKAKIN Museum wall-stuck fix.
Confirm the build string on the title screen matches your lobby. Official wording: Steam news hub.
What changed
1. Official map — Egypt
A new official stage Egypt is available in the base map list. Everyone in the lobby needs v2.7.0 to load it. Full spots guide: Egypt Map Guide.
Browse other bundled stages on the Official Maps hub.
2. Random map lottery — per-map toggles
When playing on random maps, hosts can toggle each map ON or OFF in the lottery pool.
Collaboration maps default to OFF — turn on HIKAKIN Museum (and other collab stages) explicitly if you want them in rotation.
3. Penguin Hotel — random elements
The official Penguin Hotel map gained random elements. Familiar suite and lobby routes may differ round-to-round — retest spots after updating. Full baseline guide: Penguin Hotel.
4. HIKAKIN Museum — wall stuck fix
Fixed players getting stuck too deeply into walls on the HIKAKIN Museum collaboration map (shipped in v2.6.0).
What did not change

Player checklist after updating
- Restart Steam and confirm v2.7.0 on the main menu.
- Host a new lobby (do not reuse old rooms across versions).
- Using random maps? Review which stages are enabled — collab maps start OFF.
- Playing Penguin Hotel or HIKAKIN Museum? Retest spots after layout/random changes.
- If friends cannot join: Invite Not Working or Version Mismatch.
