Players have been able to experience the open world of Dying Light 2: Stay Human for a month now, and Techland has just improved the experience, releasing two updates this week for the game on consoles and PC, which have improved performance and the overall user experience.
This week came the next-gen patch to Dying Light 1 for PlayStation and Xbox, adding Performance mode, Balanced mode, and Hi-Res mode to next-gen consoles. Thanks to this update it is now possible to play at 60 frames per second on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. This was not all, because a few days later patch 1.2 arrived with fixes for Dying Light 2: Stay Human.
