Starting from Infinity Nikki 1.5, players on PC and PS5 will finally be able to take photos in vertical mode. This feature has been heavily requested by the playerbase for quite some time, and the developers are finally introducing a vertical photo mode to the game. As of now, mobile players will not have this separate vertical photo mode, and only PC and PS5 players will be able to use it.

20 custom photo presets can now be saved for future use. These presets can also be shared with friends who want to take photos in a similar style. Additionally. the previously teased 'camera merchant Leila' will be introduced in Infinity Nikki 1.5, and players can obtain eight new photo poses from her.

As already announced, Infinity Nikki 1.5 will feature a brand new area titled "Serenity Island", which will be inhabited by the Pieceys. Furthermore, version 1.5 will feature a fresh story involving Nikki and the "Primordial Sea of Stars", where she will "uncover secrets about her past, present, and future".

Starting from Infinity Nikki 1.5, you can play the game with your friends in co-op mode. This mode will be restricted only to one particular map, which will have mechanics, challenges, and mini-games designed specifically for co-op gameplay. This co-op mode is optional, and players who don't wish to explore this map with friends will not miss out on any main story content.

Custom Ability styling and upgrades

Currently in game, Nikki can only use Abilities when she has the entire Ability outfit equipped. After Infinity Nikki 1.5 goes live, Nikki will be able to access these Abilities regardless of what outfit she has on. This means that players will be able to put together pieces belonging to different Ability outfits, while still retaining the overworld Ability. Do note that this feature applies to almost all outfits except a few specific ones such as Spectral Mist and Daughter of the Lake.

Additionally, the following outfits will also have their abilities enhanced and refined:

• Crystal Poems
• Froggy Fashion
• Breezy Tea Time
• Shark Mirage
• Forest's Fluttering

Glow-up system overhaul

Starting from Infinity Nikki 1.5, glowing up all 4-star and 5-star outfits will unlock a new color variant for them. These color variants can be obtained by glowing up specific pieces, so you don't necessarily need to wait for the full outfit glow-up to unlock the new colors for the outfit.

However, this system will not be applied to 3-star outfits. Instead, you can dye all 3-star outfits in different colors once they have been fully glowed up.

Other QoL updates
