Patch Notes
This update adds support and content for the Survivors of the Void Expansion for Risk of Rain 2 on console!
With this update, all supported platforms have the same content and bug fixes. When we developed this patch, we took a holistic approach that focused on unifying PC & console. This means we'll reduce platform-specific bugs and bring fixes and new content to console players much faster. We're excited about the future of Risk of Rain 2 and can't wait for you all to join us.
There have been several previous updates to the Risk of Rain 2 PC experience. These updates include balance changes and bug fixes that had not yet been addressed in the console versions of the game. This update is also addressing those issues, and regardless if you purchase DLC all players will be receiving all the previous updates, which you can view in previous PC Patch Notes here (https://steamcommunity.com/app/632360/allnews/). As it’s an extensive list, we will not be calling out specific community changes or bug fixes here. We’ll focus on the new content arriving with Survivors of the Void.
As always, join us on social media to stay up to date on game news. For any additional feedback or issues you see while playing, please submit a ticket to support.gearboxsoftware.com.
Major Content Changes
The changes below will be applied to owners of the Survivors of the Void Expansion. For players that have miraculously avoided any spoilers, and would like to continue doing so, we suggest not reading the patch notes below.
