Dying Light 2 will be released on February 4 and a first patch brings a huge amount of bug fixes and improvements. You can find all the information here.
Dying Light 2 gets a huge Day One Patch right at the release, the developers talk about over 1,000 bug fixes. We collect all the important information about the first update of the brand new survival game and the patch notes for you.
(Naturally, we have already tested Dying Light 2 extensively.)
When is the patch coming?
The Day One Patch for the PC will be available five minutes after the official release of Dying Light 2, i.e. on 4 February at 01:05. In the meantime, the patch is also already available for download.
Techland also urges all players to wait for the patch before starting the game, as it also addresses gamebreaking bugs. Apparently there were already some playable retail versions of Dying Light 2 in circulation.
Fellow survivors, we see that some of you got an access to the retail copies of Dying Light 2 before the release date (it’s this Friday, only 3 days left!). We understand you want to start exploring the City ASAP and we couldn’t be happier!

The patch is about 1.2 gigabytes on the PC. So you don’t have to overuse your internet to get the important fixes and enhancements.
