Rugby 25 Patch Notes

PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Steam  
20 February 2025

**Updated Players and Rosters**  
Rosters have been updated to reflect real world changes, including updates to player and team overall ratings along with additional player visuals. Further roster and visual updates will occur as we receive them from the licensed teams.

**Improved Rucks**  
Solved issues where incorrect logic was applied to the team advantaged in ruck contests and better balanced ability to steal the ball.

**Improved Line-Outs**  
The ability to steal the ball has been tuned, selecting the same throw position as the opponent throws to increases the chance of a steal. An option to ‘set for maul’ will give the defending team an advantage if a maul is chosen.

**Improved Career Recruitment**  
Career Recruitment systems have been improved, including balancing transfers/contracting, better AI decision making for recruitment decisions and transfer offers, and balancing the likelihood of retaining players. The UI screens for managing recruitment have also been improved.

**Corrected Set Piece Kick Takers**  
Resolved cases where a non-designated kicker will take conversion or kick-off kicks.

**Improved Stability**  
Overall Gameplay stability has been improved in this update.
