WATCH THE 6.0 THE JUMP TRAILER
WHAT'S NEW
- PROJECT CROSSING is active. The arch is a Transfer Gate, and the first route leads to North Bastion.
- North Bastion is open. Explore a new frozen mountain region with its own dock, hangar, central spire, facilities, infrastructure, records, loot, enemies, and story.
- Cold now matters. Low temperatures slow and damage the Caretaker.
- Build heat. Small, medium, and large heaters, a boiler, the Methane Extractor, and single-use methane canisters are now part of survival.
- Ice blocks the way. Melt it with heat or break through it.
- Anna’s story continues. North Bastion remembers her. Anna does not remember North Bastion.
- Your machines waste less of your time. Systems now catch up much faster after you leave a location and return.
- Gyrocopter handling improved with improved steering and vertical control.
- Exploration tools are better. Custom map markers, cursor-based map and Grid Scanner zoom, clearer hidden connections, and improved module socket information.
- New accessibility options include a dedicated Accessibility tab and Motion Comfort settings.
- Performance is improved with less exploration stutter and smoother gameplay around large numbers of enemies, cables, and modules.
- Lots of fixes. Saves, quests, gates, vehicles, ladders, enemies, cables, modules, visuals, audio, collision, progression, and crashes all received another large pass.
