September 3rd 2026 Patch Notes: Leaderboards, Fish Grades, and Quality of Life
Source: Steam Community
It's been nearly a month since Pier Pals launched into Early Access, and the team has rolled out a new patch with something for both competitive anglers and collectors. Thanks to everyone who's been fishing with us so far!
Arcade & Leaderboards
Steam leaderboards are now live! Press the Scores button to compare your skills with friends and players worldwide. This update also fixes a Memory Matching lock-up and removes a mysterious grey-box fish in Guppy Fish.
Fish Grade Tuning
Fish grades have been adjusted again, with a small change for newer players. You'll see more variety in the grades you catch early on, without extending the time needed to complete your journal.
Quality of Life & Bug Fixes
- Sort your bag by rarity or by grade
- Fixed a lost fish when closing during the catch minigame
- Fixed stray invites from other games showing up on your pier
Thanks for fishing! For the full version history, see the patch notes page.
