Patch notes and build numbers
The latest full-game Steam patch announcement found in the official news API on 14 October 2026 is Hotfix 1, published 9 October. The feed also contains two June demo patches. Community guide build numbers are baselines, not the current version of every platform.
Evidence and limits
I fetched 100 news items with full text and checked the publisher announcement feed on 14 October 2026. No later full-game patch announcement was returned. That does not prove there were no silent depot changes or console updates. The announcement supplies no full-game build number.
Hotfix 1: Steam, 9 October 2026
Team17 added a DirectX 11 launcher option and recommends trying it for performance problems, especially on Steam Deck. The same hotfix addresses some softlock scenarios and enemies blocking the Union Apartments elevator. These notes apply to Steam, not automatically to console versions.
Demo patch history
The June updates apply to the historical demo, not the purchased October game.
| Announcement | Date | Selected changes |
|---|---|---|
| Demo Patch | 5 June 2026 | Exclusive Fullscreen default, film-grain option and video-playback fixes |
| Demo Patch 2 | 12 June 2026 | Shotgun breaks wooden barricades; map-reveal and UI fixes |
Which builds do the guides cite?
NPC Tips reports these data baselines. They are not independently read from a running copy here and should not be relabeled as a universal latest patch. The string 618_173902 was not found in the checked official patch announcements.
