Shipping update just fixed one of the most annoying issues

AdHoc Studio has finally fixed one of the more annoying issues with its hit game Dispatchfinally allowing players to earn a platinum trophy for their efforts. The episodic and choice-driven experience, Dispatchhas been a huge hit with players and has been praised for its story, characters and choices that have a meaningful impact during gameplay.

Dispatch has managed to find so much success in such a short amount of time, not least thanks to its all-star cast, which includes the likes of Aaron Paul, Laura Bailey, Erin Yvette and many more. That success also contributed to getting Dispatch nominated for Best Debut Indie Game at the 2025 Game Awards taking place in December. Still, from a relatively new studio, the game has a few issues that the team at AdHoc has fixed, including one particular glitch that left many players frustrated.

Message fans after first week with no new episodes to play

Dispatch is sharing a special message with fans just over a week after the end of season one, to celebrate big player numbers.

AdHoc Studio released a minor update on November 19, 2025, but for many fans, it's an important update for what it fixes. As expected, Dispatch has tons of trophies for players to unlock, some of which may need to be earned over multiple playthroughs depending on choices made. Unfortunately, the players quickly discovered that Dispatchs H4ck3d by R0b3rt trophy is bugged, preventing it from being unlocked even if players do everything right in their playthrough to earn it. Of course, this has led to a lot of frustration from PlayStation players in particular, as it also blocks the associated Platinum trophy from being earned as well.

The trophy itself tasks players with completing each hacking segment without failing once, so naturally players want to show off their achievements. Thankfully, the November 19 update has finally fixed the issue, as confirmed in a response to a fan who asked the studio's official account to fix the issue. Thankfully, for players who have already met the requirements for the trophy, it will automatically unlock when the game starts or when the save file is loaded. This also means that for players who completed every other trophy in DispatchPlatinum is now attainable.

For those curious, the update also fixes another achievement that was giving some players trouble. Specifically, Min Max will now properly unlock when a hero's stat is upgraded to 10 by a random score. A new security measure has been added to prevent accidental deletion of save files, while a number of potential crashes have been fixed.

With all 8 episodes of Dispatch finally available, fans have quickly wondered what's next for the series. AdHoc Studios co-founder and Chief Creative Officer Pierre Shorette specifically addressed Dispatch would get a second season, admitting that the developer hasn't ruled out that possibility. The popularity and success of Dispatch has apparently pushed the studio to at least consider such a possibility, but as of now nothing has been confirmed or committed.
