Frontier Developments’ Planet Coaster 2 didn’t have the smoothest launch last year, and the paid DLC only prompted further ire. However, the team is committed to fixes as outlined in its recent 2025 roadmap.
February sees the arrival of custom video billboards and speakers, interchangeable coaster cars, stock coasters, and synchronized coasters. The Pathos 3 flat ride from the first game also returns. Meanwhile, multi-select, guest navigation, and so on will receive adjustments alongside improvements to performance, economy, stability, etc.
Update 2 in March will add guests jettisoning off flumes, a highly requested feature, alongside round-bottomed flumes and deformation for inflatables. It enables Career mode maps as starting layouts in Sandbox mode and adds another returning ride with the second part of stock coasters. Further enhancements to stability, performance, management, and whatnot are promised in addition to ride attendant adjustments.
April is barren outside of “new features” (and May lacks even that) so expect more details in the coming months. Frontier will factor in themes from the first game, though more details are forthcoming. In the meantime, the next Frontier Unlocked livestream is set for February 26th and will detail Updates 2 and 3.
Planet Coaster 2 is available for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Check out our review of the PS5 version here.
