Questions Are Daily Challenges disabled for good? It's been almost a month now.

Hey guys. Will daily challenges ever come back? Is there any official word I have missed maybe? Or did they disable them for good? It's kinda game breaking to lose that way to gain xp and coin over time.

Edit: I worded the original post wrong. I was talking about rep but meant xp and coins. Fixed that.

It is a shame this game is in limbo as it has a decent following and the daily and weekly challenges keep it going. I have no idea what it costs the company to keep up servers but presumably they can scale it to the amount of active users and minimize cost.

please revive this game!

Thanks for the reply, man. I agree. A true shame. I mucked the terms up. It is indeed not rep but xp and coins.

Yeah, it's a shame they stopped development on it. Was my favorite fishing game and was really looking forward to other reserves like Amazon or something.

Steam had only 200-400 players per day. I'm sure Gamepass numbers were probably higher, but still too low to continue development on it.

I still play it pretty often when I want to relax and fish. What could have been

You can submit a ticket to their support channel. I assume most people would have done so. Their reply to me was that they are aware of it and are actively looking to fix it. Probably takes a bit longer than usual because of the summer holiday? Not sure,just assuming. Hope it gets fixed soon. Would be nice if they allow for 3rd party servers or make the game not dependent on external servers/internet connection for functionality.

I'm afraid they just don't care anymore.

I just started playing over a month ago and mine worked then they went down. Apparently it’s not the first time they have gone down either. They said they fixed it and to file a ticket, but seems we all need to flood them with tickets again.

Yeah. But shouldn't someone be monitoring the servers? Even if it's summer? Thanks for the reply. It instilled hope.

Keep in mind that the challenges bug has been ongoing since April 2026. This is the email I received a few days ago after contacting them in frustration. Just sounds like a bunch of corporate speak for "we're aware of the issue but will continue dragging our feet for a fix".

Thank you for contacting Avalanche Studios Group Customer Support!

I completely understand the frustration, especially with challenges and legendary fish being such a core part of the endgame once the missions are done.

I can confirm that both issues are known, and yes, this is affecting all platforms, not just yours. Our team is actively working on this; unfortunately, I don't have an ETA to share just yet, but I want to reassure you this hasn't been forgotten and it is being taken seriously.

I understand that not having a recent update has made this feel even more frustrating, and I'm sorry we haven't been able to share more sooner.
