Dying Light 2’s latest PC patch is now live, with console updates to follow

Techland has released a new update for the PC version of Dying Light 2.

According to the studio, the update fixes numerous crashes and most blocks which have been resulting in players entering a deathloop following co-op sessions.

The PC patch, which is also detailed in the image below, arrives ahead of console updates due in the coming days.

Techland said on Thursday that patch 1.0.4 had been submitted to both PlayStation and Xbox for certification and is expected to go live by the end of this week.

The studio is also working on future updates that will address issues such as story progression blocks and add backup saves.

Dying Light 2 has enjoyed a very strong Steam launch, reaching a peak of 274,983 concurrent players during its first week of availability.

Only 23 other titles have ever attracted more concurrent players on Valve’s online game platform, according to data published on SteamDB.

VGC’s Jordan Middler and GGRecon’s Aaron Bayne appraised last week’s big release in this Reviewers Roundtable video discussion.

According to the pair, what starts off as a tense fight for survival that encourages you to be deathly afraid of the dark quickly turns into a fairly generic open-world game, with some great mobility that happens to have zombies in it.
