Speedrunning Scientists! Alongside our little polishing update today, we’re thrilled to let you know that our Shuhei Yoshida skin is now live in Bionic Bay Online!

To bring Shuhei into your online speedrunning, all you have to do is beat his time in our specially-crafted course. If you manage to beat this PlayStation legend’s best time, you’ll be able to jump in as Shu on both PC and PlayStation 5

We’ve been so honoured to collaborate with Shuhei, and incredibly proud that Bionic Bay has lived up to his high expectations. What better way to celebrate such an incredible PlayStation icon, than to throw him into our dangerous bio-mechanical world.

You can jump into Bionic Bay Online right now, to test out Shuhei's Gauntlet and see if you can best his time. Unlike our other speedrunning challenges, this one will remain open, to allow all players the chance of dressing up in Shu’s pink shirt.

There's no better time to get into Bionic Bay Online's speedrunning courses. In this mode, intrepid scientists can compete to set times against a constantly-changing online leaderboard. With the exception of Shuhei's Gauntlet, each course runs for a limited time, before allocating points to your global profile.

What better chance for glory? Get into our research program now, set a time and show Shuhei how he should have done it.

• Adjusted several systems in online mode and added extra version checks for compatibility.
• Fixed checkpoint trigger ranges in certain levels.
• Fixed boundary issues in some levels.
• Fixed an issue where enabling Chronolag under specific conditions caused the game to run slowly.
• Fixed an issue where manually selected ghosts in online mode did not update correctly in certain situations.
• Fixed various joystick connection-related errors.

Our team will provide you with the tools you’ll need to traverse this intricately crafted pixel art world. But don’t let the stunning visuals fool you, this is no slow-moving narrative crawl.

What you’ve seen in the Bionic Bay demo is just the beginning. Bionic Bay v1.0 includes 23 painstakingly created levels, with an increasing challenge to simply stay alive through your journey.

In this demanding arena, you’ll have the opportunity to customise your own scientist, and claim your place on our transient and global leaderboards.

Bionic Bay’s data-ghost racing reflects age-old racing titles, and provides a consistently refreshing challenge for those looking for a little more.
