Overview
- The PS5 version is out now and ships with the v2.0 Anniversary Update, which also goes live on Xbox and PC.
- Major additions include New Game+, three new playable species (Dwarves, Orlans, Aumaua), a quarterstaff weapon type, photo mode, custom difficulty sliders and broad quality‑of‑life improvements.
- New Game+ carries over most abilities and unique gear (reset to level 1) while boosting enemy stats, with completion-save steps required for returning players.
- Obsidian reworked the restrictive gear upgrade and economy loop and added settings to ease equipment scaling after widespread feedback, though the core pacing remains intact, according to gameplay director Gabe Paramo.
- Windows Central reports this is the last major update on the public roadmap and notes Bloomberg’s reporting that sales trailed Microsoft’s targets despite strong engagement, with future large-scale content unclear.
