Dying Light 2: Stay Human was released almost a year ago, and even after all this time, the developer is still supporting it. Techland recently released a massive community update yesterday, with the patch changing the game version to 1.9.0 and making a ton of changes and improvements.
Nvidia DLSS 3 support is finally here, which means players with RTX 4000 series can have massive FPS gain by using the said technology. Cross-play support for Xbox and PlayStation platforms is introduced as well, and players can skip cutscenes by holding a dedicated button.
Players will be happy to know that Denuvo DRM has been removed from the game. On top of that, users can also expect performance improvements as CPU, GPU, and DirectX 12 optimizations are made.
The update also added the Dynamic Competition mode from the original Dying Light game. So, get online and try to tackle the unexpected.
- New ragdoll code that more realistically applies the forces of the hits
- New ragdoll presets change the hit reactions of human-sized enemies
- Changed a number of animation-based hit reactions to ragdolls

Several gameplay-related changes are made as well and the highlights are mentioned below.
