The latest Undisputed update is available to download now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam, with some highly requested improvements to stamina, movement, and more.
With EA's Fight Night series being dormant for well over a decade, boxing fans have been eager for another developer to step in and fill the gap in the market. After being in early access for two years, Steel City Interactive finally released Undisputed last October, but fans were left mostly disappointed. At launch, Undisputed received mixed reviews. Many fans believe the game felt worse to play than it did in its early access phase, with multiple features still missing from the title. However, Steel City has remained committed to improving the title with a steady stream of new updates, with the latest one making some big changes.

The latest Undisputed update is officially available to download now on all supported platforms, bringing the title to version 1.3.3. According to the official patch notes, which can be found further down this article, the update has reworked the evasive movements to "make them more viable." Steel City says players will now be able to use the dodge, slip, weave, and diagonal dodges to avoid punches and counter their opponents more efficiently. The update has also adjusted stamina, with blocked punches now costing less stamina than a missed punch, but still more than a landed punch.
After receiving mixed reviews from players, Steel City's boxing title finally appears to be on the up and up. Fans have praised Undisputed's previous update, which was released on April 24, with many saying the game now feels "very solid and snappy." One user said they "have to compliment Steel City," as the update not only addressed an issue brought about by a previous patch, but also took into account feedback from the community.
Unfortunately, it hasn't been all good news for Steel City, as fans recently blasted the latest Undisputed DLC as "insulting." With various gameplay issues and bugs plaguing the title, many criticized the studio for prioritizing paid DLC packs over significant improvements. However, it looks as though the studio may have taken the feedback from fans on board, as the studio has now released its fourth update in five weeks. Alongside the aforementioned gameplay improvements, there are also some fresh bug fixes. Details on the newest update can be found in the patch notes below.
