Data and patch methodology
An update and a game-data change are not the same thing, so they are separated here.
Taken from an official announcement. It is the highest-confidence source and is marked Official.
Detected between supported game-data snapshots. It reports exactly what changed in the data, without claiming why.
The combined state of the site after a change, used by the currency, platform and help pages.
Something reported by players that is not officially confirmed. It never uses the same rank as an official change.
When something is unknown
If a patch only says stability improved, this page says exactly that. It never turns an unstated change into a number.
Changes are tracked from Sep 29, 2026 onward. A missing record is not proof that something never changed.
