For players with an early copy, their save game will technically work post update, but they will miss out on new content and experiences if they don't delete their save before updating. [[Hello Games]] highly recommends deleting the save since it's a day zero update.
'''The Three Paths''' – There are now new, unique “paths” you can follow throughout the game. You must start the game on a fresh save, with the patch, as early choices have significant impact on what you see later in the game, and the overall experience.
