Overview of Recent Developments in Infinity Nikki
- The Version 1.5 update of Infinity Nikki faced significant criticism due to incomplete areas, numerous bugs, and other issues.

Infinity Nikki, which captured the attention of players worldwide in December 2024, rose to become the sixth most lucrative gacha game in the mobile market. The primary platform for its gameplay is PC, resulting in substantial revenue generation for Infold from dedicated fans and new players alike.
However, the months of March and April 2025 marked a challenging period for Infinity Nikki, as developers were focused on the highly ambitious Version 1.5 update. Unfortunately, upon its release, the update was met with considerable backlash from the community. Key grievances included an incomplete game area, a problematic dye system, significant bugs, lost in-game currency, and the removal of the beloved introductory segment of the game.
This wave of discontent led to a noticeable decline in Infinity Nikki’s ratings on Steam, contrasting sharply with the enthusiastic feedback the game previously received. Many fans expressed their frustrations over the lack of communication from Infold, resulting in a “girlcott”aimed at advocating for essential changes to restore the game’s earlier charm. In response to these issues, Infold publicly addressed the community on April 17, 2025, acknowledging the launch’s shortcomings and offering players compensation in the form of up to 960 Diamonds.
Updates on Version 1.6: Delays and Player Compensation
Given the complex technical challenges stemming from Version 1.5, Infold has decided to postpone the release of Version 1.6 until June 12, 2025. This delay will enable developers to adequately address existing issues in Infinity Nikki and to work on preventing future complications in the upcoming version. As part of this decision, players will receive 360 Starlit Crystals as compensation for the delay, alongside 120 Diamonds and an Energy Crystal available daily from June 5, 2025, through June 12, 2025.
The developers also clarified their position on the Threads of Reunion, the iconic dress associated with Nikki’s original tutorial. Although Infold has neither confirmed nor denied the reinstatement of the previous intro, it suggested that the current prologue, “Sea of Stars,”was a rushed addition to Version 1.5, rather than a well-integrated narrative progression. Delivering substantial modifications to Infinity Nikki will require more time for development, and Infold is presently not ready to share detailed plans for these changes.
In an effort to enhance communication, Infold has implemented a new feedback channel accessible via the in-game Pear-Pal. However, this apology has coincided with the rollout of new 4-Star Banner Outfits, which fans view with skepticism. The ongoing “girlcott”appears likely to persist within both the Chinese and global player communities, indicating that while steps have been taken towards resolution, much work remains to be done by Infold.
