This page covers every update Plants vs. Zombies: City Saviors has had since its release. Only content updates are mentioned in the page.
==1.0 Version (August 10th, 2022)==
Plants vs. Zombies: City Saviors was first announced in April of 2022. Four months later in August 10, 2022, the game was officially released worldwide for mobile and PC platforms at a price of $3.99.
This first version of the game contained 3 worlds, 23 plants, 26 zombies, and 9 ghoul plants to unlock. Alongside with 2 new minigames to the franchise with levels for them.
==1.1 Version (September 10th, 2022) ==
Fungal Laser Tag, the fourth world of the game, was released a month after the game's launch. Its main focus was to bring back the classic mushrooms from the Plants vs. Zombies games to City Saviors, along with lots of new enemies for the world. New levels for both Backwards Thinking and Conveyors of Doom were added for Fungal Laser Tag, with premium and minigame plants being added as well.
==1.2 Version (September 15th, 2022)==
A few days later, Hearts Royals was released as a new minigame. The update brought a brand new lawn for the minigame and a new plant, Queen of Hearts. The game consists of a battle with Hearts as the main currency, replacing Suns. The Plant and Zombie sides have Hearts to create minions and attack the opposition. The goal is to deplete the opponent's health to 0. Once the player has won, they will unlock the Queen of Hearts in order to use her in regular levels.
The update was originally planned to release with Fungal Laser Tag, but it was delayed a few days due to gameplay issues.
==1.3 Version (October 17th, 2022) ==
Abandoned Storage, the fifth world of the game, was released roughly a month after the previous area. Working as a sister world to Fungal Laser Tag, it also brought back several classic plants and gimmicks. Zombies were all new with ghoul plants making for 13 total enemies in the world. New levels for both Backwards Thinking and Conveyors of Doom were added for Abandoned Storage, with premium and minigame plants being added as well.
==1.4 Version (January 12th, 2023) ==
The sixth area of Plants vs. Zombies: City Saviors, Mortal Market, came out three months after the last major update.

==1.41 Version (January 16th, 2023) ==
A minor update that involved two changes to plants, officially listed as bug fixes and emergency changes. Below you can check the affected plants.
Buffs	Buffs 	Nerfs	Nerfs
 	Cost75 > 50	 	Ability (Copies)Copies are made in a random adjacent tile
The Wall-nut change was made to match it with its cost in previous games, and was considered an oversight. Broccoli Blockade was changed to stop it from completely blocking a tile for the entire level and making it overall weaker with the randomness added to it.
==1.51 Version (June 25th, 2023) ==
The seventh area of Plants vs. Zombies: City Saviors, Acorn Academy, ended a major six-month hiatus. The world was described as easy but strategic, featuring a plethora of defensive plants and a multitude of quick and nimble zombies. As always, new levels for minigames were added, along with new items in Penny's Store to be purchased. Unlike the previous update, the 1.51 version did not issue any balance changes.
