Players of Undisputed are urging developer Steel City Interactive to address some of the game’s critical bugs. This comes after a fan highlighted a game-breaking glitch that significantly affected an online match. As the first major boxing game since Fight Night Champion, Undisputed has faced criticism from fans due to numerous gameplay issues and glitches.
After nearly two years in early access, Undisputed officially launched in October 2024 to a mix of reviews. Many users criticized the game for lacking features and not receiving quality updates during its early access phase. Published by Deep Silver and developed by Steel City Interactive, Undisputed marks the first significant boxing game release since 2011’s Fight Night Champion. EA used to lead the boxing video game market with its Fight Night series, but that franchise has been inactive for over ten years, leaving Steel City to try and capture the interest of boxing fans.
Undisputed Players Call for Major Bug Fixes
Sadly, even though Undisputed had almost no rivals in the boxing video game arena, it debuted with numerous bugs and gameplay glitches. Gamers have expressed their dissatisfaction over problems like losing match records when opponents bail and serious hit registration flaws. A recent post by user SlouchyCouch on the Undisputed subreddit features a shocking clip from an online match that was cut short by a game-breaking bug. In the footage, the player’s fighter turns away from the opponent and can’t turn back, resulting in a flurry of body shots that go unblocked before the player is knocked down.
A user has pointed out that Undisputed requires some significant fixes, and many players share this sentiment. One Reddit user, TheNotoriousMJT, even suggested that publisher Deep Silver should consider issuing refunds because of the ongoing bugs and glitches. Sadly, Steel City Interactive has not provided any updates on when a new patch for Undisputed might be available to address these problems. The most recent major update was rolled out in December 2024, which included various enhancements, new venues, and cosmetic options.
In conjunction with a recent update, Steel City Interactive launched a new DLC pack for Undisputed that includes the polarizing YouTuber-turned-boxer, Jake Paul. However, the community’s response has been largely negative, with many criticizing Steel City Interactive for focusing on releasing a DLC fighter instead of addressing the numerous bugs and glitches that have been affecting players’ online gameplay. As players continue to report various issues, there is a growing anticipation for a significant patch for Undisputed.
