The eight crossovers included in Friends of Jimbo 4 are Dead by Daylight, Civilization VII, Critical Role, Assassin's Creed, Fallout, Bugsnax, Slay the Princess, and Rust, with cosmetic skins applied to the face cards. The patch notes were reinforced by SteamDB’s patch entry, which highlights the cosmetic skin content and platform-wide rollout. It’s a UI/ cosmetic-focused update rather than core gameplay changes.
