BOMBANANA! Updates: Every Official Announcement

BOMBANANA! ships updates through Steam announcements, and the developer writes them short: a headline, a list of what changed, and rarely a version number. That makes a timeline the most useful form for the page — what is current, what came before, and which details were never published at all.

Everything below comes from the official announcement feed for the game. Nothing is inferred from store pages, screenshots or community posts. The page was last checked on October 28, 2026.

Current Status (as of October 28, 2026)

• Newest update: October 25, 2026 — the Halloween Environments & Costume Update, which redecorated the game with Halloween props, decor and autumn fog, and added a set of Halloween player costumes. No version number was given.
• Newest platform news: October 22, 2026 — the PS5 demo went live, with a Color Blind Mode included. The same post states the game has no crossplay at present and that the team is looking into it.
• Newest content update before that: October 9, 2026 — the MAYDAY Update, described as the first major content update: a new environment, expanded customization, and balance tweaks.
• Where the game runs: Steam on Windows and macOS, the iOS App Store and Google Play, plus the PS5 demo. An Xbox version is announced with no date — see Xbox.

That is the whole current picture. There is no scheduled update, no roadmap and no announced end date for the Halloween content in any of the posts.

Update History at a Glance

Two entries in that table are not patches in the strict sense — the PS5 demo is a platform release and the September 18 post is a milestone. They are kept in the same list because they are the announcements players actually ask about, and because the MAYDAY post refers back to the player numbers.

Halloween Environments & Costume Update (October 25, 2026)

The newest update is seasonal and small in scope, and the post is explicit about what it contains:

• Halloween environment and atmosphere. The environment was redecorated with Halloween props and eerie decor, and thick, rolling autumn fog was added. The post's own framing is that defusing "just got a whole lot spookier and a lot more chaotic".
• New player costumes. A fresh set of Halloween player costumes was added so players can dress their monkey for the season.

What the post does not include: a version number, the number of costumes, their names, how they are obtained, an end date, and whether the change is permanent or seasonal. Those details are not published, so this page does not guess at them. If you are checking whether your build has the update, compare the in-game environment with the Halloween look rather than looking for a version string.

Practically, the fog matters more than it looks. BOMBANANA! is a game about partial information, and reduced visibility is a change to the difficulty of every role at once — the blind monkey loses nothing, the two sighted roles lose contrast. Agree on shorter callouts before the first timer.

PS5 Demo Goes Live (October 22, 2026)

The October 22 post is a platform announcement rather than a content patch, and it carries three facts worth separating:

• The demo is live on PlayStation. Players can find it by searching "BOMBANANA! Demo" on the console store.
• Color Blind Mode is included in the demo. The post calls this out as a demo feature, not as a general update.
• There is no crossplay right now. The developer says the game currently does not have crossplay and that they are looking into it depending on whether the audience is there on other platforms.

That last point is the one that changes how you plan a session: a PS5 group and a Steam group are separate pools for now. The crossplay page tracks the statement and what would count as a change. The full PS5 version still has no published date — the PS5 page keeps that separate from the demo.

MAYDAY Update (October 9, 2026)

The MAYDAY Update is the first major content update, and the developer framed it as a celebration: the post opens by noting the game had passed 1.5 million players and 3,500 Steam reviews with an Overwhelmingly Positive rating. Three headline changes follow:

• New environments. A brand-new location with new hazards, interactions and chaotic obstacles to navigate. The post does not name the location or list its hazards.
• Expanded customization. A range of new player customization options for your monkey. The post does not say how many, what they are, or how they are unlocked.
• Gameplay refinements and enhancements. General balance tweaks and feature improvements, described only at that level.

A teaser post published the same day listed the same three items in advance, so the two announcements should be read as one: the teaser promised them, the update post confirmed delivery. Neither post includes an itemised changelog, module changes, level-specific fixes, or any numbers behind the balance work.

Because the update is described broadly, older fixed tables — module answers, level routes, piano note sheets — should not be assumed to have changed or to have stayed the same. The modules page and the game modes page describe what is stable; anything the announcements do not cover stays marked as unverified here.

One Million Players (September 18, 2026)

Two weeks after the September 2 launch, the developer posted the 1 MILLION MONKEYS! milestone. The post thanks players for the launch, notes the game had been out for a fortnight, and announces a merchandise collaboration: a Youtooz plush of the blind monkey, with a removable blindfold.

The same post is the source for the "we're not done yet" line that precedes the later content updates, so it is the earliest public signal that the game would keep shipping content rather than stopping at launch.

v1.0.2 Patch (September 11, 2026)

The only numbered patch in the public feed so far. It is a small quality-of-life release with five listed changes:

• Matchmaking added, so solo players can find and join other players instead of recruiting manually.
• Level difficulty balance improved.
• Controller UI fixed — the interface did not appear when playing with a controller.
• Lobby code toggle added — a button to hide and reveal the lobby code.
• Sound and voice chat adjusted.

No version numbers beyond v1.0.2 appear in the feed, and no later post has used one. If you are comparing builds, matchmaking is the most visible of the five changes listed above.

What the Announcements Do Not List

This page deliberately stops where the posts stop. As of October 28, 2026, the official announcements do not publish:

• Version numbers for the MAYDAY or Halloween updates.
• Costume or customization counts, names, prices or unlock conditions.
• Itemised balance changes — which levels, which modules, which values.
• Module answers or manual tables. No update post has ever published an answer key, and the in-game manual remains the authority for a live run.
• End dates for seasonal content, including the Halloween update.
• A roadmap or next-update date.

If a page presents any of those as fact, it is not quoting the announcements. The codes page applies the same rule to promo codes, and the troubleshooting page covers what to do when a build behaves differently from a guide.
