September & October 2026 – Improved shot setup and aiming in Virtual Golf

This release introduces a new way to use the minimap when preparing your shot in Virtual Golf, along with several smaller interface improvements and bug fixes.

New reference point on the minimap

Release - October 13th 2026

A crosshair has been added to the minimap in Virtual Golf. Players can place the crosshair on the minimap as a reference point and use it to help visualize where they want to play their shot.

The crosshair does not automatically change the direction of the shot. After setting the reference point, players adjust their aim from the tee by swiping on the main game screen.

To make the aiming interaction more consistent, aim is now adjusted only by swiping on the main game screen, rather than from both the minimap and the main screen.

Default Tee fix on Royal Birkdale

Release - September 22nd 2026

We’ve fixed an issue on Royal Birkdale where the Blue tee box was always selected by default. Logged-in players who have Sky set as their default tee box will now start from the correct tee when playing Virtual Golf on Royal Birkdale.
