A Monopoly GO developer has confirmed that Scopely, the game’s creator, is actively working on a solution for a glitch affecting Android users. Players' ability to obtain loyalty benefits in the well-known mobile game is impacted by the bug that stops the Tycoon Club button from appearing on some Android devices. Since its April 2023 launch, Monopoly GO has seen a sharp increase in revenue while maintaining the original Monopoly gameplay and customizing options for mobile users.
Tycoon Club Launch and Android Display Issue
Beta testing of the Tycoon Club, a premium rewards program that offers daily spins, loyalty points, and prize packages, ran until February 22. The Tycoon Club was open to players via an invitation system after its formal launch. Android users, however, have complained about difficulties using this function since, on some devices, the Tycoon Club button does not show up in the game UI.
Scopely offered a temporary solution to the problem, enabling impacted users to connect their Facebook accounts and visit the perks page of the game to monitor awards. There isn't a quick fix for those without Facebook accounts, even if this technique works for those who do. As a result, some gamers would make Facebook profiles just for this.
Discord Message Confirms Developer’s Acknowledgment
A Reddit member on the Monopoly GO Discord published a message from Jose Ruiz, the Senior Producer of Monopoly GO, confirming that Scopely was aware of the Android display problem. Ruiz encouraged impacted users to attempt the Facebook workaround and assured gamers that Scopely is working on a solution. Ruiz emphasized Scopely's dedication to resolving the interface problem and thanked the community for their patience.
Impact on Android User Experience
Given that a sizable portion of Monopoly GO's player base is Android, the bug could have prevented many gamers from becoming Tycoon Club members. The game developer's commitment to enhancing the cross-platform user experience is demonstrated by Scopely's attempts to resolve the problem. It could be necessary to modify the layout to make room for the Tycoon Club button without interfering with other functions because the missing button was the result of a user interface problem.
Ongoing Support for Monopoly GO Community
While the short-term fix could help Android gamers for the time being, iPhone users might also find it useful if they run into the same issue. Early users are assisting Scopely in identifying and fixing interface issues, while Monopoly GO is still invite-only. In order to keep the game's features accessible and interesting for all players, the developer may add further enhancements and content when updates go live.
Scopely’s Commitment to Continuous Game Updates
The success of Monopoly GO, demonstrated by partnerships with Marvel that include characters like Deadpool, Spider-Man, and Black Panther, highlights Scopely's continued dedication to the game's advancement. The Tycoon Club button bug is anticipated to be resolved shortly as the developer continues to provide updates, allowing Android players to take full use of the game's loyalty features and bolstering Monopoly GO's devoted fan base.
