Short answer
Patch 1.0.1 is the day-one launch patch. The official notes call out crossplay party matchmaking, NPC pathing, challenge and achievement tracking, escape behavior, stamina, and crash fixes. A listed fix is evidence of the intended change—not proof that every player sees the issue resolved on every platform.
Primary source: the official 1.0.1 patch notes. The release page also says the game is now available.
What 1.0.1 explicitly addresses
These are the useful search answers in the official changelog. Keep the wording narrow so a patch note does not become a blanket promise.
| Area | Official note | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Crossplay | Party members should follow their leader into a matchmade lobby instead of being kicked to the menu. | Re-test the full party flow after updating. |
| NPC pathing | The notes mention Police getting stuck and Residents failing to path into Escapes. | Still capture the map, escape, and platform if it repeats. |
| Challenges | Additional fixes target challenges and achievements that were not tracking properly. | One registered result is not a universal guarantee. |
| Stability | The release notes include crash fixes alongside stamina and escape-related changes. | Record whether the crash happens before, during, or after a match. |
After installing the patch
- Confirm the build.Check that the platform has finished downloading 1.0.1 before testing a fix.
- Repeat the smallest failing action.Use the same lobby, chapter, escape, or challenge condition so the before-and-after comparison is meaningful.
- Keep a platform note.PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series reports should not be merged into one unsupported “all platforms” claim.
- Escalate persistent reports.If the same failure remains, label it as a post-patch community report rather than silently rewriting the changelog.
Patch notes FAQ
Is 1.0.1 the day-one patch?
Yes. The official launch post presents patch 1.0.1 alongside the release and lists the launch fixes described above.
Does 1.0.1 guarantee that every challenge will track?
No. The notes say additional fixes were made for tracking problems and that further outliers may still be identified. Treat a repeated failure as a current report.
Where should I look for later updates?
Start with the official news feed and then compare a community report against the exact build and platform. A search result or third-party tracker is not a patch note by itself.
