Blue Prince Latest Patch Notes Fix Override Save Data Issue

Since last week, the gaming community has been buzzing about “Blue Prince,” a game that’s been highly praised by critics and gamers alike for its innovative twist on the puzzle genre combined with roguelike gameplay. With a Metacritic score of 92, it’s dethroned “Split Fiction” after a month-long reign, leading many to speculate that it could be a contender for Game of the Year in 2025. Launched on April 10th across Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation 5, and Steam, thousands of players have been navigating through Mount Holly to Room 46 over several days. The latest patch notes for “Blue Prince” address an issue that’s confounded a few players: the override save data problem.

As reported by Dogubomb on their recent post (previously Twitter), an independent game developer has acknowledged a save file bug in the game, Blue Prince. The problem occurs when players select “New Game” from the Main Start Menu, potentially overwriting your current saved data. This issue has been addressed in the latest update for the puzzle game, marking the first set of patch notes released for this indie title. Today’s update for Blue Prince focuses on repairing bugs and system issues within some of its rooms.

Today, PlayStation and Steam users can expect to receive the update, whereas Xbox users will get the patch details tomorrow, specifically in the afternoon.

Here’s a look at the full patch notes for today’s Blue Prince update:
