DayZ 1.18 Experimental Update #3 Lands on Xbox – Patch Notes

DayZ gets a new experimental update on the Xbox platform, reflecting the one pushed on the PC platform on May 31st. This is the third update for the 1.18 version as it is classified as such, which should resonate into a better gameplay experience before it lands on the live servers.

The update addresses a couple of game crash issues, followed by approximately the same changes on the PC platform. It is how Bohemia distinguishes and deploys updates across different platforms without forcing their delivery simultaneously.

Unlike the live servers, the experimental servers are there to gather player feedback and help Bohemia Interactive make changes before the content gets over to the live servers. Before its admission, it’s vital to notice how Bohemia Interactive is dealing with all of this, while it’s also dealing with a new product they launched that should haul over to a unique Arma experience.
