Steel City Interactive has officially announced the forthcoming Undisputed update, disclosing the release date alongside significant changes that patch 1.3 will entail. Following months of anticipation, the developer confirmed that this update will be available on Wednesday, April 2, across all major platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
The last substantial update for Undisputed arrived in December 2024, introducing various new venues, cosmetic enhancements, and improvements to career mode, complemented by numerous bug fixes and quality-of-life upgrades. Among the community, the extended wait for new content has been a source of frustration, especially given the community’s vocal requests for essential gameplay adjustments. However, the release of patch 1.3 signaling a return to regular updates is welcomed news.
Details of Update 1.3 Unveiled
On March 31, a brief video from Steel City Interactive provided a preview of the improvements slated for the next Undisputed update. The free update is poised to go live on April 2, featuring rebalanced effectiveness of block mechanics, enhancements to AI blocking behavior, online instant replays, modifications in career mode, and fresh customization options. While extensive patch notes are expected to accompany the update’s release, it remains to be seen if any additional features will be introduced beyond those spotlighted in the preview video.

Though the video did not directly address the inclusion of new fighters, a recent post from the Undisputed Twitter account sparked speculation regarding unreleased boxers. A clip accompanied by the caption, “Pause when it feels right and choose your next fighter on Undisputed,”hinted at the future addition of notable fighters such as Shannon Briggs and Eric ‘Butterbean’ Esch. The specifics surrounding the potential release of these fighters—whether as downloadable content (DLC) or part of the upcoming free update—remain uncertain.
The Undisputed player community remains eagerly hopeful for significant bug fixes and gameplay enhancements in patch 1.3. A pressing concern is the 8th-round bug that compromises the scoring, which has gained considerable attention among players. Furthermore, fans have voiced their desire for improved punch accuracy, as many believe that the current mechanics do not reflect the impact of their strikes accurately. Other anticipated improvements include enhanced head movement, the introduction of clinching mechanics, and a solution for “phantom punches”occurring during online matches. It is hoped that the forthcoming patch notes for update 1.3 will address some of these longstanding issues.
