MOUSE: P.I. For Hire Patch 1.2.2 is now available for Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with the Nintendo Switch 2 version arriving in the coming weeks. The update focuses on improving gameplay, progression, stability, controls, UI, and localisation through a wide range of fixes.
Among the biggest changes are fixes for progression blockers, Robo-Betty’s pathfinding, collectible display shelf updates during Level Revisits, and several crashes related to the lockpicking minigame. Players should notice a smoother experience across supported platforms.
Patch Notes
Gameplay and Progression
- Fixed cases where side quests could not be completed when revisiting River Fever Line because NPC dialogue continued but quest progress did not register.

- Fixed an issue that allowed players to jump over a fence and freely explore while the camera remained active in Clergy Row.
- Fixed a Robo-Betty pathfinding bug that caused the boss to become permanently stuck in a running loop, allowing players to skip the third encounter.
- Fixed issues where the collectible display shelf in Jack Pepper’s office failed to update correctly after collecting items during Level Revisits.

- Fixed cases where the Exit Level option could not be selected from the pause menu.
Controls and Input
- Improved key rebinding across all platforms and input methods.
