The photo mode will allow players to use up to 19 different filters to create your desired finish. There are also new costumes to unlock, such as the King Doubloon which is only given to once you’ve collected all of the doubloons. Another costume is the Plush Gary, which is only available once all other rewards have been unlocked. On top of that, the PlayStation 5 version will utilize the haptic feedback on the signature DualSense controller. For instance, the controller will play audio when picking items up, and the triggers will activate when using the reef blower and swinging hook.
The new update will also attempt to address some major bugs and issues. This includes the save function which has been known to stop working, as well as the game not fully pausing. SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake originally launched earlier this year for the aforementioned last generation systems, as well as the Nintendo Switch and PC. The game received mixed reviews, but was still a welcome entry for longtime fans of the franchise as a whole.
