Evolve fans have stuck with the game and seemingly created a very niche community of hardcore players. Turtle Rock Studios have released their patch list for PC’s version 2.1 patch as well as additions the micropatch will have on consoles and PC.
Recently announced on the Evolve website, the 2.1 patch for Evolve on PC and subsequent micropatches are live on console as well as PC.
