The August 9 update for the Steam version of BIG HOPS adds online co-op for up to 8 players and changes the title to BIG HOPS TOGETHER. The tongue action, which previously served as a grappling hook and puzzle tool, now lets companions act as anchor points. Players can carry or throw each other, and can also steal items from a companion's backpack.
The developer confirmed there are no plans to add online co-op to the Nintendo Switch or PS5 versions. The single-player BIG HOPS remains available on those platforms. The Steam version is on sale at a 40 percent discount, priced at 1,380 yen including tax.
