Private Lobbies and Cosmetic Preview
Updates · Bongo Cat
The Private Lobbies and Cosmetic Preview update (January 14, 2026) added the long-requested private lobby option, a way to preview cosmetics before earning them, and two new supporter items.
Changes
- Added private lobbies: invite-only sessions joined via Steam invites.
- Added cosmetic preview: click any cosmetic in the collection to see it on the cat before obtaining it.
- Added two new supporter items, Yin and Yang.
- Patch notes: option to auto-equip drops, option to always show the chest, collapsible tags in the collection, an error indicator when a chest fails, emotes scaling with the UI, emotes cleanly removed when a multiplayer cat enables after emote spam, visual feedback when a chest cannot be opened, chest position staying correct when scaling the UI, and settings scale requiring manual apply.
