Psst, hey 'Big Cheese'—if you’ve been waiting for a reason to head back into the noir-soaked streets of MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, today is your lucky day. The team has just dropped update v1.2.1, which is officially being touted as the game's biggest update yet. Whether you are playing on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, or PC, you will find a massive list of quality-of-life improvements and stability fixes waiting for you.

Finally: Revisit Your Favorite Levels

The most requested feature is officially here. Update v1.2.1 introduces the Level Revisit system, allowing you to jump back into previously completed stages. This is the perfect opportunity to hunt down those missing collectibles or finally wrap up any side quests you left hanging during your first run.

To jump back in, head to the overworld map and drive to the level you want to replay, then select the new "Revisit" option. If you have already finished the game, simply select "Continue" or reload your latest save file from the Main Menu to be transported to the HUB zone, where the overworld map becomes accessible.

Performance and Visual Upgrades

Beyond the new content, this patch focuses heavily on technical polish. Players on compatible displays can now take advantage of uncapped Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) for smoother gameplay. PC users also get some extra love, with full support for ultrawide (21:9) and super ultrawide (32:9) monitors now implemented.

The Game Updates team has also performed a general pass on performance optimization across all platforms. Other notable tweaks include:

  • Weapon Wheel: Now displays current upgrade levels and features improved visual readability.
  • Camera Controls: A horizontal axis inversion option has been added.
  • Settings: The menu navigation has been cleaned up, the "Apply" prompt is more intuitive, and setting changes now include audio confirmation.
  • Controls: The rebinding system has been overhauled for better reliability.
  • Tutorials: A failsafe has been added to the 'Vaudeville' kick tutorial to prevent players from getting stuck in later levels.

Stability and Bug Fixes

The patch notes are extensive, addressing a wide range of stability concerns. If you were previously running into crashes related to system memory limits or internal gameplay errors, those have been addressed. The team has also squashed a massive list of progression blockers, including issues with the flood dive sequence in 'The Depths', the circus ticket events in 'MANGIA & MANGIA', and various collision issues that previously led to players falling through the map or getting trapped behind environment assets.
