Two Point Campus update 1.5 is out now, adding a bunch of new cosmetic items to the game, making a major quality of life improvement with job assignments, and squashing some inconvenient bugs in the process. The patch is out now for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PS5, and will be rolling out ASAP for PS4 and Nintendo Switch – there’s some more bug fixing to do for these platforms
There’s a smattering of useful new items added for free in update 1.5, with small radiators and air-con units being added to Two Point Campus, with fans having missed them since Two Point Hospital. Alongside that there’s a new see-saw ride that will boost the relationship between any students that use it, and provide entertainment, while there’s a bit of solo fun to be had with the new personal mini-golf course.
Helping you to put an individualistic touch to your campus, there’s a bunch of new hedges and fences available, as well as new path patterns and two new pathing tools.
And finally, one of the most requested features is the Job Assignment screen, where you can narrow the focus of your staff so that they will only work in specific areas – this was something that narked us a little in our Two Point Campus review!

Two Point Campus is a great follow up to Two Point Hospital, adapting this quirky brand of management sim to feature the building and running of a university campus. In our Two Point Campus review, I said, “If Two Point Hospital was a triumphant return of the Theme Hospital style management sim, then Two Point Campus is a true heir. It takes the same tongue-in-cheek tone and applies it to a new setting, it learns from the journey its predecessor went through, and it deepens the experience for anyone that wants it.”
