Overcooked: All You Can Eat is hosting a big birthday bash today, with a major update to the game bringing new levels, new mechanics, a new chef and even the ability \u2013 at long last \u2013 to make a cup of tea in the game.<\/p>\n

The publishers at Team17 and the developers at Ghost Town Games released the Birthday Party update into Overcooked: All You Can Eat today (9th August 2021<\/strong>), to mark the fifth anniversary of the original Overcooked\u2019s launch.<\/p>\n

Overcooked, the brilliantly tricky co-op cookery game, first started tearing families apart and turning couples against each other in 2016. A sequel, Overcooked 2, launched in 2018. Within the past year, both games and all their DLC chapters were combined into one handy package, remastered and re-released on PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch<\/a>, PS5<\/a> and Xbox Series X<\/a>, under the title Overcooked: All You Can Eat.<\/p>\n

But what is today\u2019s Birthday Party update for Overcooked: All You Can Eat all about? Keep on reading to learn more.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in the Overcooked Birthday Party update?<\/h2>\n

In the words of the publishers at Team17, \u201cFive new birthday themed levels, the new Tabby Cat chef, a recipe to make a cup of tea, and in-game Switcheroo mechanic where living playing cards stalk the levels transporting players across the kitchen, are all on the menu and available to Overcooked: All You Can Eat players from today.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can take a look at one of the new levels in the screenshot below, which even includes The Onion King and Kevin (his trusty dog, of course) sitting down and enjoying some birthday cake.<\/p>\n
