s&box Small Update 26.05.06a Patch Notes (7th May 2026)

Two days after the first post-launch weekly patch, Facepunch is back with Small Update 26.05.06a, a tighter drop that fixes a handful of issues and quietly reshapes how you the platform.

The dedicated server stutter on client join is the fix that will matter most to anyone running or playing on community servers. That kind of hitch on connection is the sort of thing that makes a game feel rougher than it is, so getting it patched quickly is the right call. There's also a fix for maps with a target game failing to launch entirely for other games, which sounds like it was causing some real headaches.

On the UI side, Discover now lives in its own menu tab, the Games section drops its dropdown, and the Hub is gone. Game browsing also switches over to new ratings and tags. I'd expect the ratings and tags change to make a real difference in how discoverable content actually is, better filtering has been one of the platform's weaker spots. Everything in the update is listed below.
