October 12, 2026
Your rivals know you better now — and there's more to play for. ■ Milestones you share. Every rival keeps a timeline of your story together: your first game, your first win against them, your streaks, the comeback they can't believe. Open any rival's profile and relive the moments only the two of you share. ■ Deeper post-game talks. After the match, your opponent writes down — in their own words — the moment they'll remember from this game, and the post-game conversation goes further into how you played. ■ New achievements & piece styles. Chase a fresh set of achievements and give your pieces a new look. ■ Challenge a friend. Share the Daily Challenge as a card and see who solves it first. Plus polish and fixes throughout.
