PokerStars new software update now available

(PRESS RELEASE) -- PokerStars.com latest poker client software, PokerStars 7, has completed beta testing and the full release is now available for download and upgrade. All players on the .COM/.EU shared-liquidity platform will automatically be upgraded to the new software in the November client update. Players can, however, manually revert back to PokerStars 6 via an option in the ‘Settings’ menu.

PokerStars 7 has been available as an opt-in upgrade since early August, and more than 120,000 players are currently enjoying many new player-friendly and innovative features not available on PokerStars 6. These include an improved Main Lobby interface with intuitive filters, an interactive geographical Live Events map, and a completely re-designed tournament lobby with a dynamic chip graph to keep track of player performance throughout all tournaments.

Lee Jones, PokerStars’ Head of Poker Communications, said: “I am delighted to see PS7 coming out of its beta phase and becoming the default software for all players on our .COM and .EU sites. I have been using PS7 since it first peeked out of the development shop and it’s a joy to use.

“Like all good software, this product has been through the wringer before we’ve made it the default for our customers. Right now, 10-15% of the people playing on the .COM site are using PS7; if that were a poker site on its own, it would be the second largest in the world! That means that all the unusual configurations and settings have been tested – when you fire up PS7 you’ll be running on a solid, well-tested piece of software. And I think you’re going to love it.”
