Paralives' first major update slips to next year, but when it comes you can expect some pretty meaty improvements for all of its main features

Since launch back in May of this year, life sim Paralives appears to have been trucking along nicely, with the dev team offering up fairly regular updates with all sorts of tweaks big and small.

Paralives' first major update slips to next year, but when it comes you can expect some pretty meaty improvements for all of its main features

Since its May launch, life simulation game Paralives has been steadily updated with various tweaks, both big and small, showing confidence in an early-access title. The team has now revealed their plans for the game's first major update, which focuses on improving the core experience. This four-point plan starts with strengthening existing Live Mode systems, aiming to enhance relationships, introduce new interactions to affect emotions, improve the Community Centre's bundles, and refine the economy curve to prevent easy money acquisition.

Next on the agenda is expanding Live Mode, which involves adding two new skills, more together and story cards, new relationship label unlockables, additional jobs, and improvements to Build Mode, including bug fixes, new furniture and items, and adjustments to furniture and item efficiency. Lastly, there are planned enhancements to the Paramaker, including more hairstyles and clothing items, specifically baggy outfits, and a wider range of fat and muscle sliders to represent diverse body shapes.

Please note that this list is subject to change, and the first major update that was initially scheduled for the end of 2026 has been pushed to next year due to additional development time needed.
