FAQ
Where do I find the latest patch notes?
Each row links to our hub and, where we have one, a plain-English explainer. For the full official notes, use the game launcher or the developer website.
How often is this table updated?
We check the versions regularly and show the date a patch or season started. The date column is the release date, not the date we checked.
What is the difference between a patch and a season?
