Summary

Steel City Interactive releases the full patch notes for Undisputed’s 1.3 update.
Undisputed’s 1.3 update will be released on April 2 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam.
New venues, fighter rating changes, career mode updates, gameplay improvements, and more will be live with patch 1.3.

Without a shadow of doubt, Steel City Interactive has unveiled the comprehensive list of changes for update 1.3, highlighting adjustments in fighter abilities, bug rectifications, and gameplay enhancements set to roll out on April 2nd. The upcoming Undisputed update is poised for distribution across all compatible platforms, encompassing the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam.

Following its October release that garnered both praise and criticism, Steel City has unveiled their plans for the evolution of “Undisputed”. Given the clamor from fans for gameplay enhancements and balance tweaks, the studio asserts that refining online play is at the forefront of their priorities. Players can anticipate further content additions too, like the incorporation of fancy robes for well-known boxers such as Tyson Fury, Muhammad Ali, Canelo Alvarez, among others, who will be introduced to the game in a future update. Although the delay between updates has left some fans dissatisfied, the latest patch appears to be addressing numerous improvements, fighter modifications, and gameplay adjustments.

The latest version, named Undisputed Update 1.3, is scheduled to become operational on April 2nd. Steel City Interactive has recently unveiled all the details for this upcoming update in their patch notes, which can be found towards the bottom of this article. This new release will introduce three fresh locations into the game: Cafe Royal, Riyadh Season Gym, and The Observatory.

Additionally, there will be numerous alterations to fighter ratings. Notable fighters like Oleksandr Usyk, Zhilei Zhang, Joe Joyce, Frank Bruno, among others, will experience both enhancements (buffs) and reductions (nerfs). However, it appears that the majority of these changes are buffs rather than nerfs.

Players can anticipate experiencing new gameplay adjustments and career mode updates as well.

In the recently rolled out update for Undisputed, players might not find a significant number of gameplay alterations compared to fan expectations, but it does bring some crucial enhancements that are worth noting. Addressing persistent concerns about punch accuracy, Steel City has made subtle modifications to how the targeting and tracking of punches function. Moreover, they’re actively testing a more substantial improvement with further adjustments planned for a future update, if the playtesting proves successful. Regrettably, there’s no set schedule yet for when these changes will become accessible to all users.

In Update 1.3, you’ll find significant enhancements and modifications to the career mode of the game “Undisputed”. As per the update details, players now have the power to decide which custom characters or licensed fighters show up during their career mode gaming experience. Additionally, Steel City has incorporated fighter customization in career mode, enabling players to personalize their fighter’s outfits. Lastly, authentic boxers will age according to their real-life birthdays. The update also includes numerous other changes, including compatibility with PlayStation 5 Pro. You can find a comprehensive list of these updates in the patch notes below.

Undisputed Update 1.3 Patch Notes for April 2025

New Venues

Added Café Royal. This licensed venue is situated in the heart of London and steeped in boxing heritage.
Added Riyadh Season Gym. Further immerse yourself in this dominant city of boxing by fighting in this new licensed venue.
Added The Observatory. A brand new, high-tech venue with a heavy sci-fi feel.

Gameplay Changes

Made some minor adjustments to how punch targeting and tracking work. We’re currently playtesting a more impactful improvement right now and if the playtesting goes well, we will ship these changes to everyone in another update as soon as we can.
We’ve rebalanced block health. The longer you continuously hold your block, the more damage your block health will take. Continuously holding your block will also now slow down your ability to block again after throwing a punch by reducing the animation speed, allowing your opponent to more easily work around your block if you’re overusing it.
Temporarily removed flash knockouts from the game due to an issue that caused the game to lock. Flash knockdowns remain unimpacted.

Career Mode

Introduced Career Custom Roster – you are now in control of which of your custom characters or licensed fighters you want in your career mode playthrough, allowing you to further tailor your experience and fully immerse yourself.
Added fighter customization in career mode, so you are now able to customize your fighter’s attire.
Licensed boxers now age in line with their real-life birthday dates.

General Changes

Undisputed is now compliant with PlayStation 5 Pro. Players on the PlayStation 5 Pro can expect revamped lighting and improved gameplay graphics.
Enabled instant replays for online game modes. Both players must have replays enabled for them to be active.
Improved audio quality for players using sound bars and headphones.
Introduced a Red Carpeting System, which guides players to new content, like new fighter outfits or player cards, through the menus.
Added 2 new hairstyles to character creator.
Updated old school boxers’ shoes, to be more in line with how they looked in real life.
Homepage stats screen has now been revamped to track even more areas of the game – such as career. It now includes things like your fighter’s overall stats, which boxer and game mode are your most played, etc.
