Re-Logic has stated that 1.4.4 was the final major content update. However, “extra quality” implies ongoing hotfixes. As of late 2024, a hypothetical 1.4.5 (which includes Dead Cells crossover items on other platforms) has not been confirmed for Switch. If it arrives, expect another NSP update focusing on cross-save stability.
