Hello,

We’re excited to announce that a free festive update is now available for Overcooked! 2!

Kevin’s Christmas Cracker – free update available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Steam, and Xbox One

Five Christmassy kitchens!

Three sweet new recipes: mince pies, Christmas pudding and hot chocolate!

Two new chilly chefs – elf and snowman!

Practice mode – unlimited time, unlimited orders. Cook as much as you like!

Additional online features – support for 2 local players to play with or against 2 other local players over an online connection

You won’t need to search for any DLC, your game will automatically download an update to add this content to the game on your console or in your Steam library!

We want to thank all our wonderful chefs for the support you’ve shown Overcooked! 2 since it released earlier this year – we hope you enjoy this festive treat!
