We’ve made some neat tweaks to adapt the game for GameNight and keep it feeling snappy. It will even utilize our rollback tech to run your inputs up to 2 frames in the past based on your network latency!
We’re stoked to announce that INVERSUS is part of the newly launched GameNight multiplayer collection on @amazonluna.bsky.social 🎮
