What changed in earlier patches
Patch 1.01 addressed launch bugs, balance, optimization, camera behavior, and crossplay friend-finding. The developer also documented disappearing Saints and microphone detection as known issues at that stage. Patch 1.02 added a block ability and further hotfixes. Patch 1.03's voice and block changes build on those earlier releases rather than replacing the entire history.
The 1.03 announcement says a larger content patch is planned. “Planned” is not “live,” so this page does not describe that future content until a dated release note appears.
For current hardware targets, see PC system requirements. For friend-finding scope, use crossplay and co-op.
