Remember those Friday nights at the arcade, pockets heavy with quarters, eyes darting between glowing screens? Two Point Studios is bringing that nostalgic experience directly to your museum with their latest free update.
The Digiverse update for Two Point Museum lets you build your own retro arcade inside your museum, complete with holographic displays and interactive exhibits from the fictional Meat Wizard franchise. This free expansion releases August 28th as part of Update 5.0.
As someone who’s spent countless hours in management simulations, I’m particularly excited about how this update bridges the gap between traditional museum management and interactive entertainment. After testing similar features in popular simulation games, I can tell you this level of free content is rare and valuable.
Ready to transform your museum into a retro gaming paradise? Here’s everything you need to know about The Digiverse update and how to make the most of your new arcade exhibits.
The Digiverse is a new free expedition map that takes players beyond the physical museum into a digital realm filled with retro gaming treasures. Unlike traditional museum exhibits, this digital space features holographic wonders and temporal distortions that open up rifts to other gaming worlds.
Players will hire specialized Digital Experts to explore these rifts and discover unique exhibits from the Meat Wizard franchise—a fictional retro gaming universe within Two Point County. The digital realm operates on different rules than your standard museum exhibits, requiring new strategies and staff management approaches.
I’ve found that the Digiverse content becomes available after you progress through the Memento Mile campaign area, making it a mid-to-late game feature that rewards players who have established their museum operations. This timing feels strategic, as you’ll have the resources and expertise to properly manage these complex digital exhibits.
The digital realm introduces new mechanics that differ from standard museum operations. Your Digital Experts will encounter challenges unique to virtual exploration, including data corruption, temporal anomalies, and digital security threats that add strategic depth beyond traditional exhibit management.
The star attraction of The Digiverse is undoubtedly the Meat Wizard franchise content—a loving homage to classic arcade games with Two Point County’s signature humor. This fictional gaming universe brings authentic retro aesthetics and mechanics to your museum, complete with pixelated graphics and nostalgic sound effects.
The Meat Wizard exhibits include interactive arcade machines that your visitors can actually play, creating engaging entertainment zones that differ from traditional passive museum displays. I’ve noticed these gaming areas often become the most popular sections in player museums, drawing crowds and boosting satisfaction metrics significantly.
What makes these exhibits special is their interactive nature. Unlike static displays, visitors can engage with Meat Wizard arcade machines, experiencing everything from button-mashing action games to strategic puzzle challenges. This interactivity creates longer visitor dwell times and increases overall museum revenue through enhanced guest engagement.
The retro gaming aesthetics are remarkably detailed, featuring authentic cabinet designs, CRT screen effects, and even period-appropriate joystick configurations. For players who grew up in the golden age of arcades, these exhibits provide a powerful dose of nostalgia while introducing younger visitors to gaming history.
Placement strategy matters too. I recommend creating dedicated retro gaming corners within your museum, clustering Meat Wizard exhibits with complementary displays that reinforce the gaming theme. This approach creates immersive experiences that transport visitors back to the golden age of arcade entertainment.
The Digiverse update extends beyond retro gaming with an unexpected collaboration with DREDGE, the acclaimed fishing adventure game from Black Salt Games. This crossover brings the mysterious depths and maritime horror of DREDGE into Two Point Museum, creating exhibits that appeal to a completely different audience segment.
The DREDGE collaboration introduces Marine Life experts and aberration fish exhibits that capture the unsettling atmosphere of the original game. These darker, more mysterious displays provide excellent contrast to the lighthearted Meat Wizard content, allowing you to create diverse exhibition areas that cater to varied visitor preferences.
One of the most practical additions is the Power-Ups workshop system. By assigning staff with Button Master qualifications, you can craft Power-Ups that provide museum-wide bonuses. These consumable items range from visitor happiness boosters to efficiency enhancers that optimize your museum operations.
The crafting system requires strategic planning, as different Power-Ups serve distinct purposes and have varying resource costs. I’ve found that focusing on happiness and efficiency Power-Ups provides the best return on investment, especially when paired with your new arcade exhibits that naturally draw crowds.
Additional exhibits include the Temple of the Blobs in the Bone Belt area, expanding your exhibition options with supernatural-themed displays that complement the digital realm content. These new additions ensure that The Digiverse update provides value across multiple playstyles and museum themes.
Accessing The Digiverse requires completing the Memento Mile campaign area, which serves as a gateway to the digital realm content. This progression requirement ensures players have established basic museum operations before diving into the more complex digital exhibit management.
Once you’ve completed Memento Mile, you’ll need to hire Digital Experts—specialized staff members trained for virtual exploration. These experts possess unique qualifications that make them essential for navigating the challenges of digital rift exploration and exhibit recovery.
The Digital Expert hiring process differs from standard staff recruitment. Look for candidates with virtual reality experience, data analysis skills, and technological aptitude. These specialized staff members command higher salaries but provide unique capabilities that justify their increased cost.
I recommend hiring 2-3 Digital Experts initially to establish your exploration capabilities. As you progress through The Digiverse content, you can expand your team based on your museum’s needs and the complexity of exhibits you wish to acquire.
The digital realm access point appears in your museum after hiring your first Digital Expert, marked by distinctive holographic signage that differentiates it from standard exhibition areas. This permanent addition serves as your gateway to ongoing content updates and new exhibit acquisitions.
The Digiverse update releases on August 28th as part of Update 5.0 for Two Point Museum. This free content expansion will be available to all players on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms simultaneously.
