The latestDestruction AllStarsupdate, Patch 1.3.1, makes one major change by making Mayhem a team-based mode. At launch,Destruction AllStars' Mayhem modewas only playable solo, which was not well-received by fans. VariousDestruction AllStarsreviews criticized the game for that oversight, but now Mayhem is playable in an 8v8 variant. This change to Mayhem is the headlining new feature in the latestDestruction AllStarsupdate, but it’s not the only change that was made to the game.

The developers also added nine new skins forDestruction AllStarsplayers to add to their collections, including two Heroic skins and one Legendary. Players will also notice that completingDestruction AllStarsweekly challengeswill now reward them with both Destruction Points and AllStar Coins, which should make it easier for them to complete their cosmetic collections. Players will also get increased AllStar Coins whenever they level up in the game.
Beyond that,Destruction AllStarsPatch 1.3.1 also includes some stability improvements and bug fixes, though specifics weren’t detailed by Lucid Games. Regardless, it seems as though thisDestruction AllStarsupdate should be well-received by fans of the vehicular combat game, as it adds a requested game mode, fixes lingering problems with the game, and re-balances the economy to be more user-friendly than it was previously.
Since its launch, Lucid Games has made a number of changes toDestruction AllStarsbased on fan feedback. This included abig price drop forDestruction AllStars, dropping its $70 price tag all the way down to $20. This way those who miss out on the game while it’s available as afree PS Plus gamecan jump in on the action without breaking the bank.
It’s hard to say ifDestruction AllStarswill ever be able to bounce back in a meaningful way to become a top-played multiplayer game. Right now, the PS5 does admittedly lack many other online multiplayer-focused games to take up players' attention, but once other PS5 exclusives drop, it may struggle to keep its audience. However, if Lucid Games keeps releasingDestruction AllStarsupdates on a regular basis, it could very well ensure that the game has legs.
