Upland Launches First Phase of Visual Upgrade Ahead of Schedule
Written with artificial intelligence.
Upland has announced the early rollout of its visual upgrade, specifically for Troves. Players can manually activate the upgrade through the app's Settings menu, with further enhancements and optimizations expected in the future.
Early Rollout of Visual Upgrade
Upland has implemented the first phase of its visual upgrade earlier than anticipated, focusing on its Troves feature. Players interested in experiencing the new visuals must manually enable them via the Settings menu within the app, as they will not be activated automatically.
Features of the Upgrade
This initial phase includes several enhancements, building on a comprehensive visual overhaul initially unveiled in December 2025. Key elements include:
- Enhanced property colors and clear ownership outlines.
- Improved textures on property surfaces.
- Redesigned road layouts across cities.
- Atmospheric effects such as haze and weather conditions.
While Upland has indicated that additional improvements and automatic optimizations are forthcoming, specific details and a timeline for these updates have not been provided. Players are encouraged to refer to a separate breakdown and video for a closer look at the upgrade.
About Troves
Troves are a new feature connecting location-based actions to rewards in Upland, with activities such as plant care and exploration allowing players to earn them. The Troves system is designed to enhance gameplay and will expand to include fishing, farming, and treasure hunting in the future. Players can use their Troves at service structures to gain various rewards. The launch of Troves, alongside Trove Banking and a new Progression system, is set to occur before the Harvest Season begins on October 1.
