Spiritfarer Version 1.14 Is Ready To Download, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Thunder Lotus’ beautiful management sim all about death and the afterlife — Spiritfarer — has received a brand new update, and it’s a big one in terms of fixes. Luckily for fans across the globe, many of the tweaks in the update involve fixing typos and errors in multiple languages.

At the end of last year, the game hit 1 million sales and brought us its largest, and final, free story update, so while version 1.14 isn’t going to bring us some brand new tear-jerking, earnestly beautiful moments, it’ll clean up the experience for everyone.

If this update fixes any issues you’ve been having with the game, great! If you’re still on the fence about picking it up, perhaps our 8/10 review from 2020 will tempt you, where we say that “Spiritfarer balances undemanding platforming, gentle exploration and forgiving resource management with a beautifully-realised world with a cast full of charming, likeable, memorable characters.”

We’ve yet to find out what the developers of Jotun and Sundered are working on next, but its dedication to updating and maintaining Spiritfarer has us hopeful for the future.
