Hi everyone,
The latest update is rolling out today (2023/03/06) for PlayStation and Xbox. It may take some time for it to appear across all regions, but you’ll see the number 2107 in the bottom left of the main menu once your game is updated.
Below is a list of the quality-of-life fixes and changes contained within this update. Unless otherwise stated, the fixes and changes below will apply to pre-existing saves. You should not need to start a new save to see these fixes and changes.
As well as this, the next release candidate is already with QA for testing, and this contains some important fixes for scenarios where achievements may not unlock and adds improved player feedback if a game fails to save for any reason. The team is also prioritizing issues with accessing crates and we will keep you posted on our progress in the next ‘Update From The Team’.
Thank you to the community for continuing to report issues. The team is hard at work on the next update to address the remaining issues, so please continue to report issues you experience in the Console Bug Reports section. The information you’ve shared is always greatly appreciated by the team as they work to resolve these issues as quickly as possible!
Stay Alive!
