Red Barrels issued a hotfix for The Outlast Trials a day after the Invasion update went live, appearing as download version October 22 on last‑gen and current‑gen consoles. The patch focuses on technical fixes rather than new content. The developer posted the full notes on its Steam news page; the hotfix resolves a mix of interface glitches, reward issues, and several gameplay oddities introduced with the Invasion update. For a reminder of what the Invasion update added, see the announcement about the Experimental Therapy and Geister event.
