The Lost Pixels released a small update for Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted on January 12, 2026, moving the game to version v1.5.1. The patch mainly fixes progression and achievement issues. The standout change is a retroactive repair for the Cloud Cover achievement/trophy so players who met the requirements in the prior update should now receive it. The patch also resolves a Zen Garden tutorial blocker and a handful of crash and visual problems.
The previous major update added the new Survival: Endless maps. For more on that release, see the Survival levels update.
Patch Notes
Below are the official notes as released.
Gameplay Fixes:
- Fixed Zen Garden tutorial progression blocker after level 5-4
- Fixed Cloud Cover achievement/trophy not unlocking when requirements are met (this will unlock retroactively for any players who achieved it in Patch 1.5.0)
The last major update for the game, which was released last month, added the Survival levels. Read on for what’s new in it.
- Added Survival: Endless Day, Night, Fog, Roof, and Cloudy Day levels.
- These Endless levels each have their own save slots, with existing Survival: Endless saves carried over to Survival: Endless (Pool).
- Fixed crash most commonly seen in long Survival: Endless games
- Fixed cases where explosive plants (Cherry Bomb, Jalapeno, etc.) could get stuck in levels after using them
- Fixed loading issue caused by interrupting the flow around Dave’s Taco after level 4-4 (The Magic Taco needed some attunement to account for speedsters)
- Fixed issues with P2 planting cards in Vasebreaker levels
- Fixed being able to use the Wheelbarrow to bring seedlings into the Aquarium
- Fixed Zombies Plant Daisies visual toggle not properly retaining its state after exiting levels
- Fixed issue with menus getting stuck when controller disconnects happened with the I, Zombie game over message on screen
Audio / Visual Fixes:
- Fixed Seed Select menu music starting a few seconds into the track (The record had some dust. It’s cleaned now, so no more skipping!)
- Fixed Conveyor plant preview blackouts (Dr.Z was up to no good once again)
- Muted ingame sfx during the title scene when starting a new Adventure run
- Fixed issues with Zombies appearing in the Seed Select Preview view with visual toggles enabled
- Fixed Aquarium planting slot shadows not being visible when using the Glove or Wheelbarrow
- Fixed Zombotany head appearance issues
- Fixed Cherry Bomb growing animation stopping early
- Made sure Dr. Zomboss’s arm is properly attached when he throws the RV at the bottom row (Dr. Z is re-armed and dangerous!)
Feels like Feastivus!
- Peashooter, Wall-nut, Regular Zombie, and Conehead Zombie are all feeling particularly feastive this month
