V2.0 Storm’s Brewing Release Notes 06.11.25

The Fun Pimps are extremely excited to share the official Storm’s Brewing V2.0 release notes. As always this build is jam packed with new content, improvements, quality of life features, game options for custom play styles and incredible amount of new mid to late game content. We thank you for your patience while we do the finishing touches on this Mega-Build. We look forward to your feedback. Navezgane awaits!

V2.0 Storm’s Brewing Release Notes

Release Schedule

Streamer Weekend – Friday June 13th – Sunday June 15th
Steam Experimental – Monday June 16th
Steam & Console Stable Release – Monday June 30th (Barring Show stopping Bugs or Cert Issues)

Biome Progression

With the new Biome Progression option enabled, all biomes except the Pine Forest will have a unique environmental hazard to overcome. Like a Boy Scout earning a merit badge, complete challenges to learn about each biome’s inhabitants and resources. When a biome’s challenges are completed, a Biome Badge can be collected at any nearby Trader.

Here are the biomes listed in their order of severity:

The Pine Forest – Starting biome with no hazards
The Burnt Forest – Combat the hot embers & thick black smoke
The Desert – Overcome the extreme heat
The Snow – Survive the freezing temperatures and windchill
The Wasteland – Conquer the high radiation fallout

There are seven challenges for each hazardous biome:

Wearing specific armor or obtaining the previous biome’s badge
Harvesting biome specific resources
Crafting remedies to increase your hazard resistance
Mining biome specific resources
Killing biome specific enemies
Looting in the biome
Spending a specific amount of time in each biome

The Biome Progression system is on by default but can be disabled in the game and server options which will turn off the biome hazards and requirements for Biome Badges.

Biome Progression Loot Stage Cap

In addition to the biome hazards, each biome will have a progressive loot stage cap. This will help to encourage players to explore each biome and seek out higher tiered loot. Loot caps are increased by progressing forward through each biome’s challenges.

Caps are automatically increased when entering into a harder biome
To raise the cap in the current biome, complete the next higher biome’s challenges
Continuing to progress and complete more biome challenges will keep raising the cap in the previous biomes
The loot cap is off if the Biome Progression option is disabled

Biome Resources

To encourage biome exploration, dominant ore types have been redistributed across the world. Each biome now favors a specific ore: Iron in the Pine Forest, Potassium Nitrate in the Burnt Forest, Oil Shale in the Desert, Coal in the Snow biome, and Lead in the Wasteland. While all ores can still be found in low volumes elsewhere, venturing into the right biome will greatly improve your yields.

Dynamic Storm System

Can you weather the storm? We have overhauled the legacy weather system and added a new Dynamic Storm System to the game. These storms have an increased severity per biome with random frequency and duration. Biome Badges will not protect against these storms. There are five types of storms listed below in their order of severity:

Thunderstorms – All Biomes (No damage to the players)
Ember Storm – Burnt Forest Biome Only (Damages players)
Sand Storm – Desert Biome Only (Damages players)
Snow Storm – Snow Biome Only (Damages players)
Radiation Storm – Wasteland Biome Only (Damages players)

A Storm is Brewing:

Storms will occur occasionally with some random variation in time and can last for several minutes.
The Storm Frequency option adjusts how often storms occur, ranging from 0% (storms disabled) to 500% (five times more frequent storms).
When a severe storm begins, the following will happen:
- The player will hear a warning siren accompanied by a HUD message on the top of the screen ‘Storm Warning! Seek Shelter!’ or ‘Storm Warning! Leave Biome!’ depending on if a player has earned their Biome Badge.
- The HUD message is accompanied by a 60 second timer. After the timer expires, the HUD message changes to ‘Seek Shelter Now!’ or ‘Leave Biome Now!’ depending on if a player has earned their Biome Badge.
- A storm Buff timer will then display on the left side of the screen showing how much time a player has before they will take damage.
- If the player is not sheltered, they will take damage. If they have found a sufficient shelter, the HUD text will change to ‘You are safe from the storm’. Players can also build a quick shelter or use first aid kits to prolong their life in the storm.
- Note: If you have not gained your Biome Badge, seeking shelter will only protect you from the storm. The biome hazards will still be active and will require hazard reducers while sheltered.

Navezgane Update

Navezgane has gotten a makeover to work seamlessly with the new biome progression system. Biome boundaries and trader POI positions were updated to improve travel times between large POI townships.
- Added new 2.0 POIs and others that were not previously on the map (e.g. roadside checkpoints)
- Updated new player spawn points to be closer to trader (e.g. ~700 meters)
- Increased density of wilderness POIs with connected pathways. This improves exploration as there are more POI choices visible in the distance to investigate.
- Updated downtown city in the wasteland biome. (teleport to trader joel then follow roads SW)
- Rebalanced POI tiers across every biome (e.g. more T5 in the wasteland, etc.)

New Zombies & Higher Gamestaged Zombie Classes

We have added two new special infected zombies and two new higher colored game staged spawn classes to 2.0. The new enemies & classes include:

Plague Spitter – A new special infected desert zombie that can vomit a swarm of insects which attacks the player. Melee weapons are more effective against the swarm. The Hornets are back, only a little smaller!
Frost Claw – A new special infected snow zombie that has a long ranged boulder throw attack that does radius splash damage. Watch out for falling rocks!
Charged Blue Zombies – A new higher game staged radiated blue class of zombies that turn, attack and run faster than the radiated green zombies, but they do more entity damage.
Infernal Orange Zombies – A new higher game staged radiated orange class of zombies that are slower & tankier than the radiated green zombies, but they do more block damage.

Zombie Spawn Improvements

We have added functionality to allow zombies to spawn and crawl out of smaller spaces or tighter areas. Many POIs have been adapted to use these crawl outs, so stay alert survivors.
We have improved spawning and respawning of enemies by making increased use of our scripted spawning system which enhances many of the larger POIs. This improves the performance of the POIs and their pacing.
You will notice an increased use of roaming enemies in larger POIs which provides a more varied experience. Roam where you want to zombies!

Perk Updates & Rebalance

We’ve added a brand-new General Perks tab and moved some perks that don’t need to be governed by any particular attribute. This allows players to gain certain skills without spending perk points on an attribute their character hasn’t specialized in.

Light, Medium, and Heavy Armor
Master Chef
Living off the Land
Lock Picking
Lucky Looter

With those perks moved, we’ve filled in those empty slots with many exciting new perks!

All Attributes have 10 perks
Each perk has 5 levels
Each Attribute has a new Mastery Perk set that starts at attribute level 6
- We’ll let you discover these details on your own

Sledgehammer Saga

I wanna be… Your Sledgehammer! We’ve added a new book series for the sledgehammer weapon class including:

Sledge Saga Vol 1: Adds 10% knockdown chance.

Sledge Saga Vol 2: Sledgehammers degrade 20% slower.
Sledge Saga Vol 3: Power attack kills weaken and slow nearby enemies for 10 seconds.
Sledge Saga Vol 4: Adds 25% more damage to enemies below 30% health.

Sledge Saga Vol 6: Adds a 10% chance to knock enemies unconscious.

Completionist Bonus: Refill your stamina with each power attack kill.

Clothing Cosmetic Options, Twitch Drops & DLC

Wear what you want for protection but look how you want cosmetically with new outfits.
We will be adding some new cosmetic DLCs options and Twitch Drops to 2.0! Get ready to unlock awesome new content and show off your unique style. Are you too sexy for your shirt?

Trees and Foliage Update

All of the trees have been optimized to run on the same speed tree shader and with reduced draw calls for a performance boost.
The burnt forest, wasteland and some of the other trees have been redone stylistically for a new look.
All of the trees have newly adjusted wind settings for consistency with the new dynamic storm system.
We have improved sub-biome foliage to create clearings and thicker foliage areas with lower growing plants on their perimeter for a much more believable look without sacrificing performance.

POIs: The World is Expanding!

Nearly 140 POIs are coming to V2.0, many have been created to bolster the wilderness POI counts. These include:

125 Explorable Tier 0 Remnant POIs
13 Questable Tier 1 POIs
6 Questable Tier 2 POIs
3 Questable Tier 3 POIs
Two new town/city tiles
3 new Questable Tier 5 wilderness POIs
- bunker_00 (Area 7)
- mine_01 (Hybrid Mining)
- quarry_02 (Correa Rockworx)

The larger Tier 4 and Tier 5 POIs combat will feel like a new experience because of scripting, crawl out, and wandering sleeper improvements!

Random Gen Improvements

Town tiles and wilderness POIs use separate terrain smoothing distances and are shorter to keep more height variations in the world.
Wilderness POI spawning has been improved allowing a lot more wilderness POIs to spawn and their spawn locations have better random positioning.
Wilderness road generation uses improved pathing and can now connect along the length of other wilderness roads.
Towns now have independent elevations and wilderness POI elevations use a better calculation.
Fixed terrain height accuracy which sometimes caused seams in the world.

New Hand Use Items

We’ve added many new usable hand items with custom animations to improve the games overall immersion including:

New special can with custom label for every canned food item
New tintable liquid jars for every drinkable item
New special stew food handheld item
New special plate food handheld item
New generic wrapped parcel for the rest
New steroids handheld item
New pill bottle handheld item

New Quest Rally Marker

We’ve added a new quest rally maker that displays a custom flag per quest type.
If a party has more than one shared quest at the same POI, each unique flag will be shown
- Player 1 has a clear quest
- Player 2 has a fetch quest
- Both players will see both flags
- Each player will see a green light next to their quest flag

Spawn Near Friend

Starting a new save? Choose a friend to spawn near for ultimate teamwork!
We’ve added a handy button to go back to the main menu before joining a game – no more getting stuck!
Works for crossplay if you are friends on Discord
Note: You cannot spawn near a friend on a server that has biome progression enabled if the inviting player is in a hazardous biome

Discord Implementation

We’ve worked with Discord to make their voice chat the default in 7 Days to Die
Players are able to link their main Discord account and see their friend list in game or use an anonymous account, if they don’t want to or don’t have one
This includes:
- The ability to switch between global server and party chat
- Messaging in and out of Discord (can be hidden)
- Inviting your friends through Discord
- Adding Discord Game friends
- Utilizing your Discord friend list to spawn near friends on a different platform
We’ve also included Discord’s Rich Presence giving you a good idea of what your friend is currently doing in-game

Crossplay on Dedicated Server

2.0 Comes with crossplay on dedicated servers
Enjoy a game on a server with max 8 players with all friends of different platforms (Note: This depends on the client)
For Console Players servers with compatible console game settings in your region will appear in the server browser. If the server uses settings that are not compatible with your console it will not appear in the server browser.
You can always play on your multiplayer game with console without a host having to be around
PS5 and Xbox Series clients cannot join dedicated servers with mods.
You can rent servers here:
- Bluefang
- PingPerfect

Fixed enemy alert sounds now playing upon wake and immediate line of sight to player.

DLSS Upscaling

We have added Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling to our graphics rendering system. It is an option under Video/Display/Upscaler Mode.
DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is an AI-powered upscaling technology that boosts performance in games by rendering them at a lower resolution and then using AI to reconstruct a higher resolution image.
This allows for higher frame rates and/or higher graphics settings at a given output resolution. DLSS uses AI models, motion vectors, and prior frames to enhance image quality and stability.

Performance

A lot of things have been done to improve performance in V2.0 including:

Added Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling option allowing higher frame rates and/or higher graphics settings at a given output resolution.

Trees and Foliage Update

A Majority of the trees have been optimized to run on the same speed tree shader for a performance boost and reduced draw calls on many
The burnt and wasteland trees have been redone with a greatly improved look
We have added a new sub-biome foliage system which allows for clearings and thicker foliage forests with lower growing plants on their perimeter for a much more believable look without sacrificing performance.

Crawl out Zombies

We have improved the tools for spawning and respawning enemies and reworked many of the larger POIS to take full advantage maintaining the challenge while improving the performance

Navezgane Update

Navezgane has gotten a makeover to work seamlessly with the new biome progression elemental system. Biome boundaries and trader POI positions updated to improve travel time and flow to and from large POI townships.

Crossplay on Dedicated Server

We will not know officially if Consoles can play on dedicated servers until passing cert on each platform. Fingers crossed

Winter Patch 12.07.24

Today we are making our V1.2 Crossplay patch available to every platform.
Players on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC can now enjoy cross-platform gameplay.

Please note: The Xbox and Microsoft PC Store versions are taking a little longer than expected to pass certification. We don’t expect any issues and hope to release them as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding—we’re excited for everyone to jump into the update soon!

For cross-platform games to show in the server browser:
Console: Set the option General>Crossplay Enabled: On
PC: Set the option General>Crossplay Enabled: On, but it also requires EAC Protected set to On
Maximum supported player count for crossplay is 8 and world size of 8192.

We always encourage a new save with every update, but we do not expect any issues continuing older save games. Enabling Crossplay for those older save games should be safe as well.

V 1.2 Official Release Notes.

RWG for consoles

We have enabled usage of random world generation for consoles which will generate worlds with sizes up to 8192

Crossplay for PC and Console Peer to Peer (NO dedicated servers yet!!!)

PC (Windows, Mac, Linux) and PS5 and Xbox Series consoles can host and join peer-to-peer multiplayer sessions with the other platforms.
Device restrictions on player counts for hosting multiplayer sessions still apply.
Easy Anti Cheat must be enabled for PC clients to host or join cross-play enabled sessions.
Added support for blocking players from other platforms
Console clients can join world sizes of 8k and smaller.
We are currently not setting any hard player count limitations for crossplay, however the player experience will vary depending on the client/host hardware and situation. For example if you have more than 6 players all in the same area on a blood moon it can be challenging on some hardware.

Rendering performance optimizations

Overall general rendering performance has been improved by reducing overhead due to rendering multiple cameras in the first person view which is a significant performance optimization on all platforms

Rendering quality enhancements

First person player avatar is now influenced by environment shadows and reflections for all platforms.

Graphics options for console

Added performance and quality graphics presets for each platform. Performance presets prioritize higher framerates and quality presets prioritize render resolution.
AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution (FSR) up-scaling can be enabled in performance or quality mode

FSR Improvements

Reduced blurry artifacts when looking at trees with FSR enabled
Improved overall clarity of FSR output.
Upgraded FSR version to 3.1.

Bug fixes

Game will remain paused (where possible) when opening the bug report window
Improved recovery of cases where the player falls through the world due to missing world geometry

Crossplay Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Crossplay available for PC & Console players?
A: Currently Crossplay is supported for Unmodified PC Clients running EAC, XBox Series S|X, and PS5 players.

Q: Is Crossplay available for dedicated servers?
A: Dedicated servers are currently unsupported. We are working to support this feature in the future, but currently Crossplay only works in Peer To Peer games.

Q: Why Can’t I find my friend when I search the Savegame Name?
A: You need to search for a player name. Console Players are limited to searching by Player Name.

Q: Why can’t I send game invites cross platform?
A: Game Invites will only work within your platform, and are unsupported cross platform at this time.

Q: My PC friend turned Crossplay on, but I can’t find his game using his User Name, or searching in the Game Browser.
A: Your friend needs to make sure they started their game Client with EAC on, Crossplay on, Player Count needs to be 8 or less, and the World Size Needs to be 8k or smaller. You may need to refresh your search browser, and confirm you are searching in the correct region.

Q: Does Crossplay support mods?
A: No, currently Crossplay does not support mods of any kind. PC players must be running their client in an unmodified state, with EAC on. If the PC Client has had mods installed, they may need to validate their files before playing Crossplay.

Q: Can I use Twitch Integration while playing Crossplay?
A: Yes. It is recommended that the host is the only person using Twitch Integration when using Crossplay. PC hosts can elevate permissions on any of the clients (Twitch Integration requires a permission level of 90) of Multi-Streaming, but Console Hosts cannot elevate permissions to Multi-Stream.

Q: I have an EOS ban. Can I join a Crossplay game?
A: No, Crossplay works through EOS and any EOS bans will result in disconnects.

Q: Why isn’t my console letting me join Crossplay games?
A: You may want to check your Security Settings to ensure Crossplay permissions are enabled.

Q: Can Crossplay work with older versions of 7 Days To Die?
A: No, Crossplay was released in V1.2 and is incompatible with older versions of 7 Days To Die. Crossplay users can only join games of the same version.
