Everything you need to know about Dying Light The Beast’s latest update (hotfix) 1.2.4, including the patch notes and more.
Dying Light The Beast’s latest update is now live on all platforms, and comes with a hefty list of changes. The update 1.2.4 is classified by developer Techland as a “hotfix,” is much more than a minor patch. With a download size of 6.6 GB (on Steam), 1.2.4 is much more akin to a title update. To substantiate that, the update comes with a ton of gameplay and system-related changes.
Although Dying Light The Beast offered quite impressive visuals for an open-world game, it still lacked behind the competition when it comes to its lighting, particularly SSR. With update 1.2.4, Techland has massively overhauled SSR. Furthermore, the latest update also fixes the frequent freezing and frame rate issues on PS5.
Here’s a look at the official patch notes for Dying Light The Beast’s update 1.2.4.
