Patch desk, 31 October: MW4, No Man's Sky, Cyberpunk, Forza and Fallout 76

Cutoff: 31 October 2026, 2:00 AM AEST. This is a cross-game patch snapshot, not a claim that all updates are live on all platforms. We distinguish installed fixes, announced releases and public test builds using official developer sources.

Modern Warfare 4 — 29 October latest changelog

DMZ cash payouts increased for Dynamic Ops, Side Ops and Story Mission replays, with fixes for exfil helicopter collisions, Scavenger detection, missing mission prompts and Hājīn terrain. On 28 October Multiplayer received its first wide weapon balance pass, with separate DMZ tuning and a Possum restriction. Read the DMZ tracker or exact Multiplayer changes.

No Man's Sky — Forsaken 7.11, 29 October

Two crashes, one involving the Anomaly teleporter and the other system warps, were addressed. Hello Games described Steam as already updated and other platforms as forthcoming. Full details and platform caveat.

Cyberpunk 2077 — Update 2.5, 22 October

The Edgerunners 2 update adds the Clampdown quest, new cosmetics and radio material, dual-wield systems, improved rendering options and bug fixes. CD PROJEKT RED's published notes also describe a Nintendo Switch 2 save-space fix. Platform rollout times differed across the 21 and 22 October posts; check your game version. Our practical guide explains returning-player considerations.

Forza Horizon 6 — Series 6 update, 5 October

Playground's Horizon Meets update includes new rewards, cars, progression and targeted fixes (including an exploit involving Drift Attack scoring). The playable Spring Festival Playlist runs 29 October–5 November; do not call an October 5 software build an October 30 emergency hotfix. Current weekly targets.

Fallout 76 — World Pets is PTS, not the live release

Bethesda's 29 October console test server includes World Pets; the live feature release was scheduled for 1 December. Hideouts are still early testing with a future target. No part of that announcement verifies a live October 30 balance buff. PTS versus release explained.

How to read this desk

Each dated entry links to original publisher notes. “Fix identified” does not mean independently reproduced, and a testing build does not mean public release. This page freezes the facts at the stated time; use the linked change logs for anything announced later.
