Update 2.53 has arrived for PlanetSide 2, and here’s the full list of changes and fixes added with this patch.
This patch was released on March 25th, 2021 and it is specific for the PS4 version of the game. Aside from bug fixes, the developer also notes when they will be releasing Chapter 3 for the game.
Maintenance for this patch is already finished so you should be able to log-in and download the update the next time you boot up your PS4 console. It does not appear if other versions have an update at this time.
Anyway, you can check out the developer’s patch notes down below.
PlanetSide 2 Update 2.32 Patch Notes
Unstable Warpgates
Amerish, Esamir, Hossin, and Indar now have a “partially” stabilized state that creates additional territory lanes along the rim of the continent, in addition to the path in the center.
- “Partial” stabilization occurs at 75 players on the continent, or after 3 hours have passed.
- “Full” stabilization occurs at 200 players on the continent, or after 5 hours have passed.
The intention behind these changes is to increase fight density on off-continents and during low-pop hours, and prevent ghost-capping of off-continents. Previous changes went too far in this regard, and the partial stabilization state will allow for more combat areas.
Chapter 03
As mentioned in last week’s article, we’re pushing back the Chapter 03 start date, and beginning testing of the new content with an internal group. The new Chapter 03 start and end dates will be April 16 through May 30th.
