First, let’s break down the numbering. Dying Light launched in 2015, but Techland famously supported it for over seven years, releasing dozens of updates, five major DLCs, and countless community events. The v1.49.8 build represents the final polish before the developers shifted full focus to Dying Light 2: Stay Human.
