Gardens, Growth & Gratitude: A PvZ Replanted Post Launch Summary

Hey Lawn Legends!

It’s been almost a month since PvZ: Replanted sprouted onto your screens, and we’ve been busy tending the lawn ever since. At launch we had a few weeds, but thanks to your feedback, support, and unwavering sun-powered spirit, we’ve been able to polish, fix, and grow the game into a healthier, happier garden.

In case you missed it, here’s a roundup of what’s bloomed since release:

Dynamic Audio Returns

Dynamic Audio was unintentionally missing at launch due to a technical hiccup. But you let us know fast. With Patch 1.3.0, Dynamic Audio is officially back and behaving just as it should. Your lawns sound lively again!

Steam Remote Play Together

Want more multiplayer mayhem? You got it.

Patch 1.4.0 brings Steam Remote Play Together, letting players team up or face off online through Steam’s built-in system. Check out the full patch notes below for more information on this.

Accessibility Options + Sun Magnet

Patch 1.4.0 also introduced new accessibility options to make lawn defense smoother for everyone, including:

  • High Contrast Mode
  • Slow Speed Mode
  • Disable Screen Shake

And yes, the Sun Magnet feature is also here!

  • R2 / RT / ZR on controllers
  • Spacebar on keyboard
    …will now pull all sun toward you.

 PC players also gained new keybinds for speeding up gameplay and cycling seed packets.

Offline Mode Fix

Some of you noticed the game appeared to require an internet connection at launch.

This bug was squashed quickly in Patch 1.2.1, and PvZ: Replanted now plays perfectly offline. Whether you’re at home on PC, Xbox or PlayStation or on the go with your Steam Deck, or the Nintendo Switch family of systems.

Saves, Progress & Achievement Fixes

We also heard your concerns about save data, progress tracking, minigame resets, and achievements not unlocking properly.
These issues have been fixed across the board, including:

  • Progress saving improvements
  • Correct achievement triggers
  • Separate save files for I, Zombie and Vasebreaker

Hard(er) Mode

Looking to test your gardening grit? For the passionate green thumbs out there, Dr. Z has hidden a little surprise in Patch 1.4.0 for those brave enough to enable it.

As you can tell, there’s been plenty of polish beneath the petals so if you’d like to dig deeper here are all the patch notes:

Patch 1.2.1

Patch 1.3.0

Patch 1.4.0

To our defenders of the lawn - Thank you! 

Your support, love, and beleaf in Plants vs. Zombies means the world to us. You help this garden grow. 💚

And to those who are about to pick up the seed packets for the first time, we can’t wait to see your adventure bloom. 🌻

  • Hello moderator Leeuw, I would like you to tell the developers to add the missing achievements for PvZ Android in patch 1.5.

    Achievements to be added:

    20 Below Zero: Paralyze 20 full-size zombies with a single Frozen Mushroom

    Flower Power: Have 10 live Sunflowers in a single level

    The Lawnmower: Eliminate 10 zombies with a single lawnmower

    Enchilada: 3 Bobsleighs and Jalapeños Mix it up during a level

    Corn Cannon Sledgehammer: Plant 5 Corn Cannons in a single level

    Stepping Strong: Squash 5 zombies with a single Steamroller

    Blind Faith: Complete a foggy level without using Sprinklers or Clover

    The Pool's Closed: Beat a pool level without using aquatic plants

    Fresh Melon: Plant a Frozen Melonpult in every row

    Lucky Round: Get a diamond on the slot machine. (Note: The number of plants needed to get 3 is very difficult to get as it's purely luck.)

    No Steamroller: Complete Formen Arr without using Steamroller. (Note: You should change from not using jalapeños to not using apisonaflor because it is very difficult to do it without jalapeños.)

    Macabre Jeweler: Upgrade all your plants in Bezombied.

    Gardener: Grow 10 Zen Garden plants to their full size.

    Please consider my suggestion; I also have more achievements that need to be added, which I created myself.

     

  • Switch 2 version still does not work with two players if anyone is using mouse controls.

  • Add the exclusive minigames from the other ports of pvz like, "heavy weapon" from the console port, please.
