Both the console and PC patch managed to tackle many bugs, increasing the quality of the game. Now players won’t have to worry as much about problems like missing SFX, unexpected crashes, incorrect notifications, and player disconnects. A couple of months ago, Stranded Deep added a co-op feature to the title, enabling thousands of players to survive together. Since that update, many players turned back to the game and are still enjoying their survival journey.

Stranded Deep is available now on PC, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, Mac, and Nintendo Switch. For more information regarding this update, go to the official Stranded Deep Twitter profile.
