by

Summary

  • Blue Prince update 1.03 is now available.
  • The new patch fixes a potential late-game progression blocker and several other bugs.
  • Auto-playing main menu credits have temporarily been disabled due to another bug.

A fresh update for the game “Blue Prince” has been released, which was rolled out in late April 2025 on a gradual basis. Labeled as version 1.03, this update incorporates numerous bug corrections and a provisional modification to the menu due to an ongoing issue with “Blue Prince.

First released on April 10th, the game titled “Blue Prince” has been garnering exceptional reviews in 2025, earning an average score of 89 on OpenCritic. This places it second only to “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33“, “Split Fiction“, and “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2“. The game has been highly praised for its innovative mix of exploration, puzzle-solving, and roguelike aspects, all brought together by a captivating narrative that revolves around uncovering the mystery of Room 46 in a mystical mansion whose layout changes constantly. Although “Blue Prince” launched without any significant technical problems from the start, some minor bugs were spotted by early players, which the developer Dogubomb promptly began addressing.

In line with continuous improvements, the highly praised game “Blue Prince” has just received its third update, boosting its version to 1.03. This latest upgrade rectifies numerous glitches, with the primary one affecting the game’s save system, potentially causing players to lose several in-game days of advancement. The developers at Dogubomb have pinpointed their internal backup system as the main culprit, although they haven’t provided specific details about what was malfunctioning within it. Temporarily, this backup system has been deactivated to prevent such progress loss incidents. It’s uncertain if it will reappear in future updates.

As a fan, I’ve noticed that with the latest update, the auto-playing main menu credits showcasing the Blue Prince development team no longer functions. This adjustment was made due to a technical glitch that could lead to problems if you attempted to continue from the saved game during the initial frames of the credits being displayed. However, unlike the backup system, this feature suspension is only a temporary solution while Dogubomb works on a permanent fix for the bug.

The latest “Blue Prince” upgrade fixes several typos and a late-game bug that might have prevented players from accessing a particular area in specific unusual situations. Initially, the patch was released for PC users on Thursday, April 24th, and since then, it has been deployed to the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. The Blue Prince on Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus has also received this update.

Blue Prince Update 1.03 Patch Notes

Late-game spoilers for Blue Prince ahead.

  • Fixed SAVE FILE bug that caused some user’s save files to roll back several days to an older, prior save state. This bug was caused by our internal save backup system which has now been disabled.
  • Temporarily disabled the Main Menu credits from auto-playing on idle as this was causing issues when players would click “continue” within a few frames of the credits starting.
  • Fixed some typos.
  • Fixed a bug involving the resetting of the position of a giant gear from day to day that had a small potential to lock players from accessing an area.
