It’s time to freeze the day, and join in on the new seasonal update, presenting the Arctic Blast Update! In version 1.14 we’ve continued to expand the game by adding a new floor to the Ozo Lounge, a new arena, weapon, as well as cosmetics, and of course a new Seasonal Mode - Arctic Blast! Cool down, and load into a game on the Arctic Resort where you’ll pick up weapons from a surprise loadout before all hail breaks loose!

;New Game Mode: '''Arctic Blast'''
Surprise loadouts! When playing in the Arctic Blast mode, players will play on the Arctic Resort with randomly selected loadouts that are not bound by normal rules. Will the next game be a complete snowball war? Or will you get a visit from the Nova family? Find out in the new seasonal mode!

;New Ozo Lounge Floor: '''Knockout!'''
The Ozo Lounge has opened up a new floor, welcome to Knockout! Here up to 8 players will be able to host and organize single elimination tournaments to find out who’s the best player in the room! Besides playing, you’ll be able to watch the games live and go back to watch replays of other matches. The winner will be able to pick up a Trophy and showcase their victory to the rest. The room will also allow for a 9th player to join in for those times when an organizer would like to check in on the tournament!

;'''Pass-through Mode Added on Quest & Quest 2'''
We’ve added the possibility to play Blaston with the new pass-through mode on Quest! This mode allows you to play Blaston and also see your surroundings at the same time. To enable this go to the in-game settings to enable the mode. You can enable and disable the mode during matches by pressing X+A (left controller X and right controller A buttons).

;New Rewards: '''FrostSpyke & Glacial Peak'''
Of course we’re adding more Mission rewards. This time we’re going full on the winter theme and we have added a new FrostByte skin - the sporty FrostSpyke! We’re also introducing the first legendary platform with the ice pillar Glacial Peak! Make sure to complete the missions to unlock the rewards!

;New Weapon: '''Tundra'''
A new weapon and mechanic has joined the fray! With the Tundra you shoot out a large icicle at your opponents. If your opponent gets hit by it, their vision will freeze and they’ll have a tough time seeing what they should dodge! Hit more times and the effect will stack for even less vision!

;New Avatar: '''Shoxx'''
A new face joins the fray. Always a reckless lone-wolf, even before he got banned by b0yk0t. For a long time, he kept to himself, but Aranex invited him to NeoTexx, for some reason. Shoxx sports a hologram face, which changes and reacts to the gameplay in Blaston. The avatar of Shoxx is now available in the store.

;New Arena: '''Arctic Resort'''
We’ve heard the calls from our previous update, and this time we’re making the seasonal mode arena available in the store so that you can enjoy and play on it in regular duels as well!

As a way of protesting against Omnico, one the most popular vacation spots was replicated; The Arctic Resort. Acting as a protest against the state of the world and Omnico itself, this version has a harsher environment with bits and pieces from Blaston world featured in it.
