HELP WANTED 2: FLAT MODE UPDATES AND PICO PORT ARE HERE!
Hey y’all!
First off, we hope you enjoyed PAX West 2024! Second, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted 2 has officially launched on the PICO Store; it is now available on PICO Neo 3, PICO 4, PICO 4 Pro, and their newest headset, PICO 4 Ultra! If you’re on the PICO 4 Ultra, we just ask that you update your software version to the latest 5.11.1 for the best visual experience. And third, we’re back to tell you Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted 2 is receiving quite a few updates for Steam and PlayStation®5! We wanted to put a focus on improving the quality of Flat Mode, balancing gameplay when playing with a controller, alongside various other bug fixes. Check out what we’ve got for you below:
Help Wanted 2 - Patch Notes
Changes (across Steam and PS5)
Adjusted stick acceleration curve for controller cursor movement to balance controller gameplay
Adjusted Flat Mode timers for various rounds in specific time-based minigames to balance controller gameplay
Added more haptic feedback for interactable items for Carousel/Cinder Carousel minigames
Changed the “All You Can Eat” trophy icon to the correct bronze color border

Added more cool people to the credits
