The PC players among you can already enjoy the new GRW update, which is now active. The patch 2.0 for PS4 and Xbox One will be available tomorrow, March 23. In this patch, the developers focused on improving game content and the overall stability of the game.
The patch 2.0 has a size of about 3GB for consoles and 5GB for the PC versions. You will be informed in-game about when the patch is ready for your system. Keep in mind that you need to have the same game versions in co-op to play together.

All players who play on Hardcore difficulty with the HUD turned off now have the option to choose which type of reconnaissance data they want to collect. When interacting with documents or NPC characters, these options are now available to you.
