2025.220.0

New release!

Importantly, if you're one of those reading release notes here on github, we're changing up the format a bit. Now, all merged PRs will be listed here, rather than the edited version. If you prefer to read my curated changelog, head over to the usual place on the osu! website.

The curated changelog will now have anything not interesting to end users removed. I'm opting to keep the full list here on github to give everyone involved in making the release happened the credit they deserve, while making the actual user facing changelog a lot more relevant.

2025.118.3

Just a 'lil hotfix, with android this time!

Editor

Fix crash from new combo colour selector when there are no combo colours present (#31616 by @bdach)

Reliability

Fix discord error messages popping up constantly (#31640 by @frenzibyte)

Discord seems to have broken something. Until it's fixed we're just going to hide the messages as to not bother you peoples.

Fix potential crash when adjusting offset (#31644 by @peppy)

Gameplay

Make offset adjust more lenient (#31645 by @peppy)

We added new rules to disallow changing offset too far into gameplay, but it wasn't accounting for intro time correctly. Now it does, so you have a full 10 seconds to adjust.

(you can also always adjust during breaks)

Tooling

Fix android builds not building (#31633 by @bdach)

Full Changelog: 2025.118.2...2025.118.3

2025.118.2

Hotfix release for right click at song select and editor setup screen mishaps.

Android release is not updated because github actions are not working currently for android.

Editor

Speed up metronome in timing screen when pressing control key (#31342 by @minetoblend)

Changes the speed at which the metronome swings & the tick sample plays to 2x (or 3x when beat divisor is in triples mode) the speed when control is pressed, matching stable behavior.

Fix slider repeats not properly respecting "show hit markers" setting (#31354 by @bdach)

Fix slider end circles not remaining for long enough when hit animations disabled (#31390 by @peppy)

Reset playback speed to 100% on entering test play (#31445 by @bdach)

Force new combo on objects succeeding a break (#31448 by @bdach)

Display storyboard in editor (#31364 by @bdach)

Add combo colour override control to editor (#31473 by @bdach)

Fix performance degradation while trying to place object with a new combo in the editor. (#31446 by @EVAST9919)

Smaller changes

• Round object coordinates to nearest integers on legacy export rather than truncating (#31305 by @bdach)
  • This fixes minor issues with snapping when exporting for use in stable. It's going to be more important soon as BSS comes online.
• Always block scroll input above editor toolbox areas (#31383 by @peppy)

Gameplay

This stopped working recently, but we heard the feedback that this is too useful to do away with!

Implement spectator list display (#31526 by @bdach)

Smaller changes

• Fix rate adjustments changing the spacing between replay frames (#31459 by @peppy)
• Apply beatmap offset to all difficulties only if they have the same audio (#31523 by @Rudicito)

Gameplay (osu!)

Fix slider repeat arrows animating incorrectly in editor / replays (#31388 by @peppy)

Gameplay (osu!catch)

• Fix slider event generator incorrectly not generating repeats when tick distance is zero (#31306 by @bdach)

Online Play

Add multiplayer auto-start setting for 10 seconds (#31381 by @peppy)

This was added due to feedback that the previous minimum of 30 seconds feels too long for most cases.

Fix star range display looking a bit bad when changing opacity (#31435 by @peppy)

Before	After

Add notifications for when friends go online or offline (#31444 by @smoogipoo)

Note that the friends overlay won't yet update in realtime with status changes – that's coming soon!

Smaller changes

• Remove status check for metadata update queue watching (ppy/osu-server-spectator#254 by @peppy)
• Avoid sending user presence updates when nothing has changed (ppy/osu-server-spectator#256 by @peppy)
• Ensure user state is never conveyed for "appear offline" users (ppy/osu-server-spectator#257 by @peppy)
• Always broadcast user presence to users' friends (ppy/osu-server-spectator#255 by @smoogipoo)
• Fix connection errors on self-friends (ppy/osu-server-spectator#260 by @smoogipoo)

Performance

• Fix stutter on intensive storyboards when entering break time with 100% background dim (#31506 by @peppy)
  • This avoids piled-up overhead when entering break time. It's not great, but it is what we need for now to avoid weirdness.

Platform (Desktop)

Change the way extensions are handled to better support side-by-side osu!stable installs (#31438 by @Susko3)

With this change, you will now be able to select which game version to open files with on windows:

You can change your preferences at any time by right-clicking on a beatmap:

osu! and osu!(lazer) appear in the "Open with" context menu:

You can also choose the default app for each file type from system settings:

Add native macOS image loading support (ppy/osu-framework#6475 by @frenzibyte)

Improves texture loading time by a magnitude on macOS.

Fix replays not correctly pre-importing beatmap when arriving from a cold start (#31508 by @peppy)

Until now, if you double-clicked a replay while lazer wasn't open, if the beatmap isn't already locally available it would just show a fail message rather than attempting to download the beatmap for you.

Platform (Mobile)

Implement system-provided file selection display on iOS (ppy/osu-framework#6445 by @frenzibyte)

Display popup disclaimer about game state and performance on mobile platforms (#31403 by @frenzibyte)

  • Preview: https://streamable.com/1g3bh8

Song Select

Make the score background yellow for friends on the leaderboard (#31240 by @Plextora)

Changes to absolute scrolling at song select (#31535 by @peppy)

This is a bit of a catch-all fix up while implementing this in the new carousel.

• Users can now choose a custom binding instead of right mouse if you wish
• Removes the setting. This can now be disabled by unbinding the key. Note that this changes the default to have it as right mouse button. This is an intentional change – I believe this functionality should be on by default as it's beneficial to most users.

Smaller changes

• Add basic framework for carousel displays (aka BeatmapCarouselV2) (#31...

2025.101.0

Switch scroll direction for beat snap key bindings (#31277 by @kongehund)

Speed up metronome in timing screen when pressing control key (#31342 by @minetoblend)

Changes the speed at which the metronome swings & the tick sample plays to 2x (or 3x when beat divisor is in triples mode) the speed when control is pressed, matching stable behavior.

Smaller changes
