Evaluation
You Are Peter Shorts launched on May 10, 2024 and has received consistent post-launch updates from its solo developer. In the weeks after launch, the developer shipped a series of patches addressing bugs, level design, and quality-of-life improvements (May and June 2024). On May 20, 2024, the developer posted about the macOS port being delayed indefinitely due to technical constraints, but stated they intended to focus on Windows updates.
The game's most significant post-launch milestone arrived on June 20, 2025: the v2.0.0 "Multi-Peter Update," a major free update that added online multiplayer for all game modes, expanded co-op support to 1–4 players, new VS mode stages, new super moves for multiple characters, and a wide range of balance and mechanical improvements. This update was preceded by a public beta in May 2025.
With the v2.0.0 update shipped, the game now has all advertised features in place — including online multiplayer, which had been in development. The store description reflects the fully shipped feature set. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no announced future content, and no developer roadmap pointing to additional updates. The developer has not made any statements about future content plans beyond the v2.0.0 release. Based on what the developer has communicated, the game appears to be a complete, feature-complete product as of June 20, 2025.
Evidence

Online multiplayer public beta announced ahead of the v2.0.0 update, described as the 'big birthday update' for the game's one-year anniversary.
