Publisher QUByte Interactive and developer Bleem have revealed that a new update for the modern port of Glover is coming on April 23. This update for Glover looks to make substantial adjustments to the game, improving the experience for nostalgic gamers.

As part of the 90s 3D platforming era, Glover carved out a spot in the genre that many have remembered fondly. The game let players take control of the titular glove and tasked them with various platforming segments, incorporating actions such as dribbling and rolling a ball. Given its long-lasting appeal, the game has received ports to newer systems. Following a Steam version in 2022, the game recently launched on the Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Now, QUByte Interactive and Bleem have announced that more support for Glover on modern systems is coming soon. Via an April 23 update, the developer will make some significant improvements to the modern console and PC ports. Among the changes, some achievements are getting tweaks, including fixed descriptions and unlock conditions. In addition, visual enhancements are being made. In particular, the patch notes revealed changes to textures, visual effects, colors, lighting, and shadows to improve the look of the game.

Beyond these visual changes, the patch will make adjustments to the bonus stage in Prehistoric World. According to the developer, the position of Garibs has been adjusted for “smoother collection.” Several other bugs are being addressed in the update, such as those related to the Fortress of Fear, Atlantis, and the Carnival Boss, which prevent progression. While the update on consoles is being handled by QUByte Interactive, the same update will come to the PC port of Glover via Piko Interactive on Steam. However, QUByte Interactive is handling it on Xsolla.

In addition, QUByte Interactive is using the April 23 patch as an opportunity to attract potential players. According to the developer, Glover can be purchased for 10% off on all consoles ahead of the update. However, it is worth noting that the game is still listed for its regular price on the Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo digital stores at the time of writing, so it is unclear when this deal will become available.

Hopefully, this upcoming patch will help improve the experience for players across all platforms. Glover is a classic 3D platforming game loved by many retro gaming enthusiasts, and it is nice to see it become more readily available. The team at QUByte Interactive has said it has been taking community feedback into account, so there is a chance more patches could be released in the future to squash bugs if necessary.
