Short answer

The launch newsletter says the team is prioritizing Ranked Mode, Lobbies, Spectator Mode, and Keyboard Mapping for upcoming patches. It does not provide a patch number, release order, platform-by-platform plan, or delivery date.

What did the launch newsletter announce?

The July 23 launch-edition newsletter thanks players and says the team is listening to feedback. It names four highly requested features as priorities for upcoming patches: Ranked Mode, Lobbies, Spectator Mode, and Keyboard Mapping.

That wording matters. These are publicly named priorities, not features that the announcement says are already live. The post also does not assign them to one patch or guarantee that all four will arrive together.

Which features are confirmed as priorities?

Ranked Mode would add a structured competitive destination beyond ordinary online matches. Lobbies would make it easier to gather players in a shared session. Spectator Mode would support watching matches, while Keyboard Mapping directly addresses a launch concern for PC users who want more control over their bindings.

  • Ranked Mode
  • Lobbies
  • Spectator Mode
  • Keyboard Mapping

What should players do right now?

Use the modes and settings available in your current build rather than following a future-feature checklist. Keyboard players can review the site’s cautious WASD configuration guide, but that guide is a community-reported manual edit—not the official Keyboard Mapping feature named in the newsletter.

For online play, check the current menus instead of assuming Ranked or lobby tools have appeared. When the developer publishes a dated patch note, this page can separate shipped behavior from the original launch priority list.

What remains unconfirmed?

The announcement gives no launch date, rollout order, platform differences, ranking rules, lobby size, spectator controls, or final keyboard-remapping interface. Any article that supplies those details without a newer source would be guessing.

This summary will be updated only when a new first-party post identifies what shipped and when. Until then, the four items remain announced priorities rather than completed patch features.
