Starting with the next mid-chapter patch, players on Steam will take about 50% less time to download the patches, and the game will weigh about 18GB less. In the future this will be on all platforms, this will require full download of the game, but only once, so do not be afraid if the next PTB (which will be Wednesday, January 5th) will weigh excessively large.

As for the SBMM matchmaking, there will be some changes, including improvements on the coverage of lobbies ensuring fairer matches, better disconnection management, they are trying to introduce a mechanics that adjusts their ratings when they take a break from the game to help players re-enter better when they return to play, finally, improvements to the best server pairing to various players to decrease the queues of matchmaking during the hours when there are fewer online players.

In addition, you are looking for a way to help players playing alone, it is a mechanics still being tested and that could also be completely eliminated: there will be a status icon next to the 'portrait' of each survivor in the HUD to allow those who play alone to have information about what the other survivors are doing.

There will also be a new option in the game’s settings called 'Beta' that will enable features still in the testing phase, this option will also be available on consoles, and the first feature to be part of it will be skills-check to wiggle from the killer, instead of pressing the keys repeatedly to fill the bar of twisting. Finally, there will be a new option in the settings that will allow you to perform interactions by clicking the specific button once and not to hold it down for the duration of the interaction (for example, if you activate this new option, you no longer have to hold a key to stay at the generator, but just click it once).
