Release Note
Hey Anglers,
The update is now available on Xbox, following its earlier release on Steam, Epic Games and PlayStation. It includes a number of UI improvements, bug fixes, and the new Fishing Planet Anniversary Event that begins tomorrow, August 6!
Stay tuned for the full announcement, and get ready to join the celebration on the water.
Let’s get down to what’s new in this update!
Player Profile: Service Counters
We’ve added service information to the Player Profile, including Repair Kits, Marker Buoys, Navigation Buoys, Tackle Template Slots, and Recipe Slots, along with their current usage status. Now you can see how many of these services you have and how many you have used in one place.
We’ve also updated the trophy icons in the Competitions section and improved the display of competition awards.
Inventory Improvements
We’ve added compatibility information for tackle. Click the Info button in your Inventory to view compatible rod and reel types for the selected item. This should make life easier for beginner players who might be struggling when building a setup.
You can now store hats in your Backpack and equip them directly from there. Bring several hats with you to a location and switch between them with ease.
User Interface Improvements
Licenses interface has been updated, making license details easier to read and understand.
From now on you will get a Warning window with a confirmation button when trying to register for a competition on a waterway that requires a Pond Pass or a higher level.
Bug Fix
We’ve addressed a variety of issues throughout the game, including fixing an issue preventing repairable items from being moved between the Backpack and Homestorage using a controller without repairing them first, and the issue with Tench fish on Ghent-Terneuzen Canal that could be caught very rarely.
Here’s what else has been fixed:
Gameplay
- Improved equipment compatibility rules for telescopic and match rod setups
- Kayak pedaling is now disabled while the tablet is open
- Improved travel flow after purchasing a fishing license
- Corrected animal behavior at Lone Star Lake
- Improved dolphin spawning in Norway
- Resolved issues that could prevent teleportation using Navigation Buoys
- Fixed an issue where fish could not be landed or lost while trolling with a match rod
- Fixed an issue where a Daily Mission requiring a specific retrieve technique could be completed by performing the technique with one rod while catching the fish on another.
Inventory & Equipment
- Resolved an issue where dynamic mission names disappeared after updating mission status
- Fixed an issue where repairing a rod did not also repair the attached quiver tip
- Added the Luminescent icon to applicable rods in the Shop and Inventory

- Resolved an issue with telescopic rods where the line length could unexpectedly decrease from 12m to 7m during a fish fight
User Interface
- Corrected text overlap in the Player Profile and bait names in the French localization
- Updated the Spanish F1 Help menu to prevent button description overlap
- Corrected Shop UI overlaps in the German, Polish, Portuguese, and Italian localizations
