7 Days to Die [Console]
Release Notes
Patch 6.0
PS4 Version 1.08
XB1 Version 1.0.8.0

Hey all! Patch 6 is just around the corner! We’ve got a boatload of fixes we think you’ll like! Check out the preview list below.

* The Journal –collects in-game tips and experiences as the player progresses through the game, acting as both an explanation of game mechanics and as a chronology of player experiences. The Journal is a primary page available via the window paging button at the top of the screen or via the radial menu

* Dynamic Blood Moon Horde Difficulty – this system automatically adjusts the difficulty of the horde that a player gets on horde night to offer a challenge better suited to them. Difficulty is determined by the following:
o How long the player has lived without a death
o The level of the player
o The game difficulty settings
o How many players are in a group

*Note* The horde will keep coming until dawn breaks; the player will clear the “real” horde at some point but will continue to get a zombie or two for the duration of the night

* Container Sorting –provides an option to automatically stack all stackable items and move like items together in a given container to clean up messy inventories
o Players can also now use a handy UI pop-up to quickly modify the number of items they want to craft, select, move around, etc.
