Wrestling GM 2026 - Beta 1.4.3 Release

Beta 1.4.3 is here

More polish. More identity. Better progression.

Wrestling GM 2026 Beta 1.4.3 is now available.

This release continues the work of making the game easier to understand, cleaner to navigate and more rewarding to progress through.

The headline additions include:

• Apple and Facebook sign-in
• New Profile Frame cosmetics
• A redesigned Command Center onboarding tour
• Rebalanced GM and Federation progression
• Tournament improvements
• Rivalry fixes
• Dashboard and navigation refinements
• More booking and stability improvements

Apple and Facebook Sign-In

Wrestling GM 2026 now supports:

• Google
• Apple
• Facebook

sign-in.

This gives players more flexibility when connecting their account across different devices and platforms.

The OAuth flow has also been improved so cancelling a login attempt no longer leaves the sign-in button permanently stuck on "Signing in...".

Profile Frames

Beta 1.4.3 introduces a new layer of visual customisation.

Profile Frames now sit alongside Avatar Frames.

These can include:

• Country-themed frames
• Premium background artwork
• Clean and minimal designs
• More decorative premium options

Your equipped Profile Frame can also appear on your Federation preview.

Additional Profile Frames, Championship artwork and other cosmetics have been added to the Store catalogue.

Progression Rebalance

GM and Federation progression has been adjusted.

Federation XP from facility upgrades has been reduced, while Headquarters upgrades remain unchanged.

TV Network goal XP now uses one shared reward table for both GM and Federation progression instead of separate, higher reward tables.

GMs also now earn XP simply for completing a show, matching the existing Federation progression behaviour.

The goal is to create a smoother relationship between GM and Federation progression instead of allowing one system to race too far ahead.

Cleaner XP History

Progression history is now easier to understand.

Raw internal entries such as:

gym_catering upgraded to level 2

now display proper player-facing names such as:

Gym & Catering Facilities upgraded to Level 2

Several source-tagging issues have also been corrected.

Tournament Improvements

Tournaments continue to receive quality-of-life improvements.

No reward required

A Tournament no longer needs to award a Championship or Accolade.

You can now run a Tournament purely for:

• Prestige
• Storytelling
• Rankings
• Rivalries
• Bragging rights

Better recurring scheduling

Recurring Tournaments now schedule each occurrence against the correct week.

Creation and series screens also use clearer wording such as:

Week 1 of every month

Better eligibility checks

Tag Team and Trios Tournament quick-fill tools now respect wrestler eligibility properly.

Previously, using an established Team or Stable could bypass checks for injured or otherwise ineligible wrestlers.

Better Rookie and Veteran TV goals

TV Network goals involving Rookie or Veteran wrestlers now clearly explain the thresholds:

• Rookie: 2 years or less in the industry
• Veteran: 8 years or more

These rules already existed, but weren't always shown clearly.

Now you can immediately understand why a wrestler does or doesn't qualify.

Match Booking Improvements

Several parts of match booking have been refined.

AI Booking now properly respects the Book intergender matches setting.

Match rivalry heat also correctly includes the match format's own heat bonus alongside any stipulation or Custom Match bonuses.

Parts of the booking interface have also been reworked as part of the 1.4.3 release.

Cleaner Rivalry Results

Match result rivalry summaries have been cleaned up.

Previously, the same payoff text could appear multiple times.

The result view now shows one clear narrative summary and gives better context for your next booking move.

Blowoff Match terminology

The old term Climax Match has been replaced with:

Blowoff Match

This includes related wording such as:

• Blowoff Completed
• Plan Blowoff

Internal save identifiers remain unchanged, so existing saves are unaffected.

Rivalry readiness fixes

Some rivalries were being incorrectly marked as ready for their blowoff even though they hadn't actually earned it.

The game now requires stronger readiness conditions based on:

• Rivalry intensity
• Story progression

before surfacing the Blowoff Match recommendation.

Improved Command Center Tour

The onboarding tour has been substantially reworked.

It now guides new players through all six major Command Center areas in sequence:

• Shows
• Roster
• Business
• World
• GM
• Shop

Each step asks you to interact with the highlighted area before continuing.

Descriptions are more detailed and mobile positioning has been improved so the tour no longer obscures the UI it's trying to explain.

Skip Tour now permanently dismisses it.

The starter checklist has also been made more compact on mobile.

Dashboard Improvements

The GM and Federation summary cards have been redesigned into one more consistent visual system.

On mobile:

• GM and Federation cards now sit side by side
• Season Progress, Budget and Popularity are combined into one compact stats card

The GM Profile details panel has also been improved.

Season Progress presentation has been updated as well.

Navigation Improvements

Desktop navigation has been simplified.

The large GM Profile header has been removed from the sidebar.

A new Dashboard Home shortcut now sits next to the existing Next Week button, making it much faster to return to the main Command Center.

The Federation Showcase has also become easier to access on mobile.

A persistent Share icon now sits in the mobile top bar.

Showcase Fixes on iPhone

Federation Showcase cards downloaded on iPhone could sometimes contain blank wrestler portraits, logos or avatars.

Safari could report images as loaded before they were actually ready for capture.

The Showcase export process now waits properly for images to be decoded before generating the final card.

Week Summary Fix

Match of the Week now correctly identifies the actual match winner.

Previously, the result card could highlight the wrong wrestler because the winner information wasn't being passed into the component properly.

iOS Preparation

This release also includes additional work supporting the upcoming App Store submission.

That includes improvements around:

• Ad consent
• Tracking transparency
• Profile and account screens
