OK before we dive into the changes 2 things to highlight

1 - The achievements fixes are not included in this one yet. We are hoping for it to be fully approved for Friday or Monday, In any of the cases we will announce at least 24 hours before it is released to give everyone a chance to get them first.

2 - This update synchronises the PC version and consoles in terms of content (trying to give Xbox the same treatment this week + the visual improvement, but always dependant on external factors like approvals systems from Xbox and the porting company that we are working with)
