Dying Light has today launched update 1.49, which is to be the game’s last update, so here’s the full list of changes and fixes with this patch. Here we are friends, after a lengthy seven years, Dying Light is officially releasing its final update today. Today’s update also coincides with a free upgrade from the Standard to the Enhanced Edition for all owners, which is a great sending-off present to those who don’t own the Enhanced Edition. If you’re being upgraded, you’ll gain full access to The Following DLC alongside plenty of extra cosmetics. Not a bad upgrade if you ask me, alongside everything coming today. Speaking of, without further adieu, here’s everything new with Dying Light in its 1.49 update!
