Slay the Spire 2 Latest Patch Notes - Hotfix v0.98.1
Slay the Spire 2 launched into Steam Early Access without a defined 2026 update roadmap. Hotfix v0.98.1, the first following release, went live shortly after the game made it into the hands of players worldwide.

- Fixed an issue where, if you played your first run in multiplayer and disconnected after defeating the Act 1 boss, you would be unable to start a new run or enter the Timeline screen
- Fixed crash from fast card play when card play is cancelled during targeting
- Fixed crash when displaying untranslated text for languages with complex plural rules
- Fixed intermittent crash with non-English languages
- Fixed localization-related crash in Japanese Knife Trap translation referencing non-existent Damage variable
