Snake Pass Patch 1.2.0 Fixes Tail Grabs; Adds Time Trials and Leaderboards for the Switch

News, Originals, PC, Platforms, PS4, snake pass, Sumo Digital, Switch, Xbox One


Sumo Digital sent out a press release today detailing their latest patch for the slithery platformer, Snake Pass. This update effects all platforms for the game (PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC) but has specific notes for each one. The most notable additions are the two features (time trials, leaderboards) added to the Switch to make it on par with the other versions. The PC is also getting Razer Chroma Keyboard support whereas the PS4 ‘exclusive’ fix just smooths out the audio.

For those that don’t follow video games based on ectothermic, amniote vertebrates, let me bring you up to speed on this tale. Snake Pass features a humming bird/serpent duo of Noodle and Doodle as they must travel through multiple worlds to save their home from the enigmatic ‘Gatecrasher’. Retro 3D mascot platforming combines with unique snake mechanics (wrapping, curling, climbing) to create a fresh take on the genre.

Update 1.2.0 is now live on all platforms and the full list of fixes can be found below:
