v1.3 has just hit PSN and is available for download right now!
What's In It?
Make no mistake. This is a huge update. As promised, this is both v1.2 and and v1.3 all in one big hit... but we've also snuck a bunch of stability improvements and bug fixes in from v1.4 too! That's right.
Some keen observers will notice that the header image for this post has graphics from the Stranger v1.2, but it actually says v1.3. This is because inventory is presently a Steam only feature. Both PlayStation and Xbox have no player marketplace or any trade capabilities whatsoever, but we'd love to get the new dice in the hands of players outside of Steam, someway, somehow. We're currently investigating ways to get inventory onto both PS4 and Xbox One in a fashion that properly suits both the platform and console experience, so you'll hear from us as soon as we lock down plans for inventory on console.
Other than the absence of the inventory system, PS4 players are completely up to date.
v1.4 and Beyond
We'll be announcing v1.4 for Steam very shortly. The good news for PS4 folks is that the PS4 build of v1.4 is already cooking away and will go live no later than the Xbox One and DLC launch.
Once Xbox One is live, we'll be aligning the consoles to be able to go live simultaneously, following Steam builds as quickly as possible.
