Gardens, Growth & Gratitude
PopCap Games
Hey Lawn Legends!
It’s been almost a month since PvZ: Replanted sprouted onto your screens, and we’ve been busy tending the lawn ever since. At launch we had a few weeds, but thanks to your feedback, support, and unwavering sun-powered spirit, we’ve been able to polish, fix, and grow the game into a healthier, happier garden. In case you missed it, here’s a roundup of what’s bloomed since release:
Dynamic Audio Returns
Dynamic Audio was unintentionally missing at launch due to a technical hiccup. But you let us know fast. With Patch 1.3.0 , Dynamic Audio is officially back and behaving just as it should. Your lawns sound lively again!
Steam Remote Play Together
Want more multiplayer mayhem? You got it.
Patch 1.4.0 brings Steam Remote Play Together , letting players team up or face off online through Steam’s built-in system. Check out the full patch notes below for more information on this.
Accessibility Options + Sun Magnet
Patch 1.4.0 also introduced new accessibility options to make lawn defense smoother for everyone, including:
High Contrast Mode Slow Speed Mode Disable Screen Shake
And yes, the Sun Magnet feature is also here!
R2 / RT / ZR on controllers Spacebar on keyboard …will now pull all sun toward you.
PC players also gained new keybinds for speeding up gameplay and cycling seed packets.
Offline Mode Fix
Some of you noticed the game appeared to require an internet connection at launch.
This bug was squashed quickly in Patch 1.2.1 , and PvZ: Replanted now plays perfectly offline . Whether you’re at home on PC, Xbox or PlayStation or on the go with your Steam Deck, or the Nintendo Switch family of systems.
Saves, Progress & Achievement Fixes
We also heard your concerns about save data, progress tracking, minigame resets, and achievements not unlocking properly. These issues have been fixed across the board, including:
Progress saving improvements Correct achievement triggers Separate save files for I, Zombie and Vasebreaker
Hard(er) Mode
Looking to test your gardening grit? For the passionate green thumbs out there, Dr. Z has hidden a little surprise in Patch 1.4.0 for those brave enough to enable it.
