All You Can Eat features over 200 levels from the previous instalments completely rebuilt from the ground up in up to 60fps and 4K resolution (30fps on Nintendo Switch), along with The Peckish Rises – seven new levels of culinary chaos and even more chefs. It also represents the first time the original Overcooked! levels can be played with online multiplayer, as well as additional accessibility and assist functionality.
