The games industry is full of delays and postponements and Metroid Dread finally being released after 15 years, so it's actually quite nice to be able to write a story about What The Golf's huge new update being released a week early — even if it was by mistake!
"The update for the golf game for people who hate golf released yesterday in an act of wild and reckless button pressing," reads the press release, "and the team has just noticed — which is why you’re only getting this press release now!" Genius marketing, honestly.
What The Golf? is a goofy comedy game that takes everything you know about golf and boots it right into the sandbank, and the update includes 120 new levels (!) with two new areas themed around Snow and the Olympics, which we're assured is "copyright-compliant".
The update also promises "lots of jokes", plus a Challenge Mode for people "who are actually good at golf", which includes harder versions of the game's levels, "plus a few new ones". Also, fixes and optimisations! Everyone's favourite!
The update is out right now on Nintendo Switch, so go go golf!

Oh wow. The game was already pretty damn great, but 120 more levels? That's really commendable. All of the levels so far were really unique and incorporated some great ideas!
This is what updates should be like... adding tons of content that can totally change negative opinions on the game.
I ordered this yonks ago from iam8bit. It's getting more difficult to wait lol.
@Zack02 the apple arcade version has had this content for a while.
Sooooo is this free dlc? If I download the game this weekend, is this bonus content included? Been tempted by this one for a while, might go for it now.
This is a great game with so many hilarious levels. I can't wait for more!
Did the home menu game icon also update or is it still garbage?
@GrailUK
My iam8bit order for What The Golf actually arrived just yesterday!
It was a massive wait, it seemed like they decided to delay the physical print in order to get all this new content on the game card? I'd need to check.
@RupeeClock Oh, let me know if it's on there please
@GrailUK
It seems like it might! It has v13.0 on the cart with no available updates, and booting up the game I can play three versions of any level I've already cleared, with varied objectives.
You just convinced me not to cancel my Best Buy pre-order. I was looking to save a few dollars this month. Guess that won't be happening!
@stuntz0rZ they will most likely have this all included on the physical from Best Buy.
This game is truly amazing!
@RupeeClock THANK YOU! I've been waiting on my physical since it was announced and was scared this wouldn't be on there
