Hello, Survivors,
We’re really thankful for your continuous support since the release of World War Z. We’ve been and will keep paying attention to all feedback on Twitter, Facebook, Discord and our official forums.
Today, we’re happy to roll out a patch for PC, which addresses the most urgent issues.
Due to slightly different procedures between platforms when certifying patches, the updates will be ready at different times. Instead of waiting to release them all at once (and holding on to a patch that is ready to go).
You can find the patch notes below.
