Evaluation

First Person Tennis launched on April 11, 2019, and Mikori Games has maintained a consistent pattern of feature-bearing updates ever since. The scanned post history shows a steady stream of meaningful improvements: physics overhauls, new game modes (Doubles added in January 2026), online systems, AI improvements, and quality-of-life features across numbered version updates. The recent update history is particularly active: Update 4.3 (September 5, 2023), Update 4.4 (December 20, 2023), Update 4.5 (January 17, 2024), Update 4.7 (April 18, 2024), Update 4.8 (September 26, 2024), Update 4.9 (January 7, 2025), Update 5.0 (March 20, 2025), Update 5.1 (April 9, 2025), Update 5.2 (January 7, 2026), and Update 5.3 (January 22, 2026). This establishes a pattern of multiple substantial updates per year, with the most recent communication on January 22, 2026. As of today, October 8, 2026, approximately 8.5 months have passed since the last update (January 22, 2026). The established cadence has historically seen updates every 1–6 months, making 8.5 months the longest gap in the recent record. This is approaching but does not clearly exceed the outer edge of the developer's historical pattern, particularly given that the January 2026 pair (5.2 and 5.3) represented a burst of activity. The store description reinforces the developer's stated philosophy, describing the game as being in "endless development to reach an incredible level of realism." No statement concluding development has ever been made. Given the long-running and consistent update history and the developer's own framing, the game continues to be actively developed, though an update in the coming months would be needed to confirm the cadence is still intact.
Evidence
Update 5.3 shipped with online connection optimizations, doubles match improvements, and local score history saving — the most recent developer communication.
