Directive 8020 Patch Notes - Bug Fixes to Improve (15th June 2026)
A month after launch, Supermassive Games tackles the notorious character model glitches and progression blockers plaguing console players.
A month into Directive 8020's life, Supermassive Games is finally addressing the elephant in the room: characters missing body parts on PS5 and Xbox. That infamous 'Missing Legs' issue that had console players scratching their heads is getting fixed, along with a slate of other bugs tied to the PlayGo/FastStart installation feature that clearly caused more headaches than intended.
Beyond the character model fixes, this patch tackles some annoying progression blockers, infinite loading screens when rewinding certain Turning Points, save corruption on PS5 when using the DualSense Touch Pad, and a keypad that refuses to open in Episode 05, which was straight-up locking players out of the story. Steam players get relief from FPS drops when toggling Frame Generation and a Fatal Error crash when returning to the main menu.
Multiplayer difficulty settings weren't working correctly either, and the Twitch poll integration had its own issues. The team confirms online multiplayer is still in development and coming later. Here's what's actually fixed in this update.
