- Difficulty Engine Overhaul + Russian Localisation Updated! - 6 July 2026
Difficulty Engine Overhaul + Russian Localisation Updated! New Difficulty Calculation We've completely overhauled how song difficulty is calculated! It should hopefully do a better job of representing the difficulty of each map and how much each map is worth if you get a good score on it. It now also accounts for 3L (3-lane) maps as well. We've also updated all built-in song difficulties. We're still actively refining it, so please give us your feedback in our official Discord! A huge thank you to everyone on the Discord who has given feedback so far 8), you can press Ctrl + Shift + U to bulk update all your mappacks. WARNING: This can take A LONG TIME. It now also unpacks older v1 maps into the new optimised format AND recalculates difficulty for every map you have. Only do this when you don't plan on playing straight away (e.g. leave it running while you do something else). Bug Fixes…
- Online Prep + New Song Grades + Hit Window Changes - 25 June 2026
Online Prep + New Song Grades + Hit Window Changes Behind-the-scenes Online Preparations Lots of behind the scenes work to connect MuseSwipr to our work in progress server. There should be no changes to the current MuseSwipr experience and how the game plays. The purpose of this is for us to gather early data and test how everything holds up before we add the real features (*cough* MUSE RATING *cough*). If you find any bugs or unexpected behaviour, please give us your feedback in our official Discord! (On the Discord you'll also get sneak peek into the mentioned future features ;) ) Hit Window Update Updated the hit window timing so that the "OKAY" hit window is constant across all APs (approximately AP5), and increased the scoring version. This is part of preparing for future rating calculations, so plays are scored on a consistent hit window. New Song Grades Expanded the grade ladder!…

- v1.3.0 Speedy map loading, Indonesian Localisation Update, and Bug Fixes - 25 January 2026
v1.3.0 Song Loading Overhaul, Indonesian Localisation Update, and Bug Fixes Mappack Unpacking System (Song Selection Performance Update!)We've completely re-engineered how MuseSwipr loads songs! This is a behind-the-scenes/technical overhaul that should make the song selection experience much smoother. For returning players - when maps are loaded for the first time, the game will "upack" the mappack so that in the future, scrolling past it and selecting/loading it will be much faster (it'll basically generate a thumbnail and a 30s audio preview, as well as gameplay data).Bulk migration - Press Ctrl+Shift+U in song selection to migrate all your existing maps to the new format at once (optional, but recommended for best performance! Otherwise, mappacks will slowly be migrated as you play/click on them in song select). Depending on your library size and computer, this may take awhile! As a…
- v1.2.3 - Mappack loading bug fixes + more bug fixes - 21 January 2026
v1.2.3 - Bug Fixes! AP mod now actually applies during gameplay (was only applying outside of gameplay... which did nothing... oops) Since this bug has been in the game for at least 8 months, we will not retroactively modify/delete scores. These scores will eventually be overtaken in the future with new updates to mods, scoring system, etc. Fixed non-English characters in the in-game chat showing up as squares. Also fixed it in the fonts panel Fixed a bug where the auto-adjust input calibration presets setting would not respect the player's choice to turn it off Made it so that corrupted mappacks that were saved in the buggy version of the build and did not load will now automatically re-import themselves. Known Issues If you played any maps/imported any maps on the buggy 1.2.1 build, those maps will be properly re-imported in this version to fix the corrupted song selection cache. V2 m…

- Happy 3rd anniversary, Xmas, and New Years from the MuseSwipr team! - 31 December 2025
Hi Swipers!! Sorry for the lack of updates over the last few months, we've had less free time this year so we ended up focusing on other stuff and took an unexpected break from Museswipr dev. But now we're motivated to get some updates out and once we get through this big task of updating MuseSwipr's engine (which broke a lot of things oops), development should speed up and updates should be more frequent coming into the new year. We've been working hard on MuseSwipr over the past few weeks, expect some game updates in the next few days. Erkfir's also been working on a bunch of QoL updates and a new built in song coming in the next update.Some features we are determined to build for 2026: Rating system Song selection redesign Making more custom modes and mechanics available to the community (some already exist but can only be picked by devs in multi...)Thank you all for playing MuseSwip…
