Check dates by data type
Each page on this site carries its own check date, and they are all the same day because the site was built in one pass.
| Data | Checked | Drift risk |
|---|---|---|
| Steam price and discount | 2026-11-13 | Low, unless a sale starts |
| Steam review count and score | 2026-11-13 | High, hours-level |
| Players in game | 2026-11-13 | Very high, minutes-level |
| Achievement percentages | 2026-11-13 | Medium, days-level early on |
| PlayStation rating and count | 2026-11-13 | High |
| Store fields (platforms, languages, requirements) | 2026-11-13 | Low, changes only with a patch |
| Screenshots and trailer | 2026-11-13 | Low |
The distinction matters. Some of these numbers will be wrong by the time you read them, and it is worth knowing which ones.
No patch has shipped
As of November 13, 2026, the Steam news feed for this appid carries no developer announcements at all. The only two entries are third-party reviews from a magazine, dated November 5.
That means there is no post-launch patch to report, no hotfix list, and no balance change. If you are looking for patch notes, there are none yet. When there are, they will appear in the Steam news feed at steamcommunity.com/app/4304060.
Checking it yourself
- Steam news feed at steamcommunity.com/app/4304060 surfaces every official announcement, including hotfixes.
- The store page itself updates its version fields and sometimes its system requirements after release.
- The official site at picoparkgame.com carries the same Details block this site quotes, and it is where a platform or price change would appear first.
- The official X account, @sonicpicopark, is the fastest channel for release-day announcements; it is where Super Sonic was revealed.
What would date this page
Three things would date it immediately: a first patch, a discount, or a new platform. A patch changes nothing on this site's factual claims but would add a row above. A discount changes the price pages. A new platform would contradict the seven-platform line.
None of the three has happened. The check date at the top is the honest answer to "how current is this".
For the store data itself, platforms has each release and system requirements quotes both requirement blocks in full. If you want the launch-day numbers rather than the dates, achievements has the full table with its own check stamp.
