v2.03 “Blu“

Here we are! Dreams is launching (squeeeeee!) and we're rolling out this update to get everything just tickety boo, for you. This is one of the biggest updates we've shipped for Dreams, it's jam-packed with improvements to the game across all areas.

However, the trouble with shipping a video game is that it's an incredibly busy time, when everyone is rushing around trying to do a million things at once. This means we've not actually written down all the things that made it in to this update. We know what they are. Of course we know what they are. We absolutely, definitely know what all the changes are - because we made those changes, lovingly and with care. We just wrote them down in a hurry. So for this momentous update, please know that there are there are many changes and they're not all listed here. So here we go, please enjoy!

What's new?#

• Art's Dream
  • Our story mode is now available in all its glory in Dreams. We really hope you enjoy our very personal little genre-hopping tale of a morose jazz musician on a journey of self-discovery.
• New kits
  • There are great new creator kits to get your hands on, packed with assets to create with. There's a kit for Art's Dream with a fantastic selection of assets from our story adventure ready to use in your own content, plus there are themed kits for Welcome Home and Ancient Temple.
• New language support
  • Dreams can now be enjoyed in an additional 8 new languages. Read it and weep! That is, read it in Arabic, Chinese (Traditional), Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian and Spanish (Latin America). Plus, six of these also include voiceover support for selected video content.
• New tutorials
  • There's so much learning to be done that we've packed in loads more tutorials covering more topics than you can shake a wireless controller at.
• Trophies
  • Yes, you love them. We love them. Now we can all love them together. They come with some beautifully crafted icons too, so your PlayStation® activity stream will soon be looking much more colourful with all your hard-won Trophies popping up all over the place.
• New Imp Quests
  • Just in case Trophies were not enough, there's new Imp Quests too!
• How-To Videos
  • More great tutorial content, with this new video series which details techniques for creating everyday useful things.
