By Dogubomb and Raw Fury unveiled Patch 1.04.5 for the puzzle title Blue Prince today. Although Blue Prince has emerged as a standout indie title of 2025, Director Tonda Ros acknowledged in a patch-notes announcement on Steam that there are no intentions for DLC or additional content after the forthcoming update.
Blue Prince is a roguelike puzzle game where players venture through a mansion left by their great-uncle. As they hunt for a concealed 46th room, the mansion transforms each night, requiring players to draft new floor plans daily. Critics praised its design and intricate puzzles, which led to Blue Prince becoming one of the top-reviewed games of 2025.
One of the prominent enhancements in Patch 1.04.5 addresses a save-rollback issue on PS5 that had led certain players’ games to save incorrectly, causing progress to be lost. Other issues blocking progress or causing softlocks were also fixed in this patch, and the phrasing of some late-game puzzles has been refined for clarity. You can view the complete list of patch notes below, but be mindful that it includes spoilers for Blue Prince.
Patch 1.04.5 Changelog:
- Resolved the rollback problem that interfered with saving the game on PlayStation for some players

Some future developments beyond this current patch were hinted at, although Ros aims to manage expectations. It was confirmed that Patch 1.10 will be the last content update that Blue Prince receives. By then, the game will include features such as a color-assist mode, controller remapping, widescreen support, new cinematics, UI and UX improvements, cryptic additions like “an overhyped arcade game and “a curious house cat,” and more. Post that, any subsequent updates for Blue Prince will strictly be for bug correction.
“It had always been my aspiration to launch a definitive version of the game at inception. I’m a huge advocate for complete standalone experiences, and it was never my intention to consistently modify the game with routine content updates, room rebalancing, or DLC and similar,” Ros articulated. “Given that this is my inaugural game, I’m incredibly proud of everything I was able to incorporate for launch, yet there are a few minor aspects that weren’t entirely finished prior to our release date that I feel must be included to realize that original vision. Those additions will be implemented in 1.10, which will be the final substantial update to the game. It will represent the definitive version.”
Once Patch 1.10 for Blue Prince is deployed in the forthcoming months, it will be content complete, so there’s no need to worry about waiting for DLC or more substantial updates before diving in. Blue Prince is accessible on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S and is included in the Game Pass Ultimate and PS Plus Extra game libraries.
