- Shiba Inu’s metaverse upgrade cut crashes and stutters, now runs smoother even on weaker setups.
- SHIB token jumped over 5% as traders reacted to better tech and rising project momentum.
The Shiba Inu team has rolled out a significant upgrade for SHIB: The Metaverse, targeting faster access, lower memory usage, and improved stability. The upgrade has been implemented across three of the project’s hubs—Tech Trench, Bark Park, and Shib Station—addressing long-standing issues with crashes, stutter, and extended loading times.
On social platform X, the official Shiba Inu account confirmed that the improvements focus on removing performance bottlenecks while retaining the same visual quality. The team emphasized it was no longer “dreaming but deploying,” reinforcing its commitment to practical delivery over promises.
In the optimization process, over 200 texture assets were resized from 512×512 to 2048×2048. The team also combined duplicate texture maps and simplified shader materials to reduce GPU load. These changes reduced GPU memory usage by 15–25%, supporting smoother gameplay even on mid-range and low-end systems.
The metaverse is evolving — faster loads, cleaner visuals, and no stutter in sight.
SHIB’s not dreaming. We’re deploying.

Metaverse Upgrade Improves User Access, Sets Groundwork for In-Game Economy
The revised structure includes smarter mip-streaming to ensure high-resolution textures are only loaded when needed. This has allowed faster traversal within the hubs and better memory handling.
No more crashes mid-walkthrough. No more stuttering at spawn points. Just smooth, optimized metaverse exploration, read an official update from the project team.
The upgrade also sets the stage for more upcoming features. Developers are building a mobile version of the metaverse and are preparing a fishing game, which will be part of the platform’s in-game economy. Although no release date has been shared, it signals more expansion within SHIB: The Metaverse.
Since its early access launch in December 2024, the metaverse has been available to users via Windows and compatible web browsers such as Chrome. The latest upgrade supports easier entry and more stable gameplay, especially in frequently accessed areas like Bark Park and Tech Trench.
