Steel City Interactive has released another new patch update for Undisputed, bringing the controversial boxing title to version 1.4.4 with another round of gameplay improvements, bug fixes, and fighter changes. The latest Undisputed update is available to download and install now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam. With some major gameplay changes included in patch 1.4.4, fans are hopeful that the update will bring the game to a significantly higher standard.
Undisputed has had a rather turbulent few months since its full release last October. Developer Steel City Interactive had the weight of the world on its shoulders when it released Undisputed, as there had not been a AAA boxing game available since EA's Fight Night Champion in 2011. Unfortunately, Undisputed was met with mixed reviews from players, with some even claiming that the game felt more fluid during its early access phase. Thankfully, Steel City has remained committed to improving the game through a steady stream of new updates, with the latest patch including some highly requested changes and improvements.

Posts 10Following on from Undisputed's big 1.4 content update last month, Steel City has continued to provide fans with numerous hotfixes, with the latest one now live on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam. There are plenty of notable changes and bug fixes in the July 16 update, including updates to Andy Ruiz's punch speed and in-game rating, stability improvements, animation fixes, and more. However, undoubtedly the biggest improvement in update 1.4.4 is to the game's punch tracking. According to the official patch notes, Steel City has addressed a bug that was causing major punch tracking issues. The studio says that punch tracking should be "notably better" after today's update.
CloseWhile there are no new fighters being added to the game in the latest update, there are some fixes for existing boxers. Undisputed's Mexican Monster DLC added seven new fighters for fans to play as, including the likes of former World Heavyweight Champion Andy Ruiz, David “The Mexican Monster” Benavidez, Sugar Ray Leonard ’87, and more. With the release of update 1.4.4, all three of the aforementioned boxers have had some form of improvement or adjustment. Andy Ruiz has had his punch speed and in-game rating increased, while both David Benavidez and Sugar Ray Leonard ’87 have also had their punch speed increased.
Fans can also expect to find plenty of fixes for some of Undisputed's most severe bugs, many of which seemingly aid in the punch tracking improvements. Steel City says it has fixed an issue where punches would miss dazed opponents, fixed an issue with punches occasionally missing or going over the opponent's head in close-range fighting, and more. The full list of improvements, changes, and fixes can be found in the full 1.4.4 patch notes below.
