Steel City Interactive has rolled out the highly anticipated 1.4.4 update for Undisputed, delivering substantial gameplay refinements to the boxing simulation title. This latest patch introduces crucial fixes to punch tracking mechanics while adjusting several prominent fighters' attributes across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam platforms.

Since its official launch in October 2024, Undisputed has navigated a challenging development path, striving to fill the void left by EA's Fight Night Champion. The development team has demonstrated remarkable commitment through consistent updates, with version 1.4.4 representing their latest effort to refine the boxing experience based on community feedback.

The July 16 update brings transformative changes to core combat systems. Most notably, the development team has resolved persistent punch tracking issues that previously affected hit detection. The revised system now provides more accurate punch registration, particularly during close-range exchanges and against dazed opponents.

Fighter-specific adjustments include:

• Enhanced punch speed for Andy Ruiz, along with an updated rating
• Increased striking velocity for David Benavidez
• Improved hand speed for Sugar Ray Leonard '87

The update also reintroduces Flash KOs through a reworked system that better reflects in-ring momentum. These dramatic knockouts now occur more frequently following successful power punches or counter strikes against stamina-depleted opponents.

Character creation receives meaningful additions with:

• Jack Dempsey and Jack Johnson's signature movesets
• Vintage Collection cosmetic items

Technical improvements address various animation glitches and stability issues, particularly those affecting the evade mechanic's duration and certain power body uppercuts' hit detection.
