What changed in Update 16?

The current update changes how co-op characters, guest saves and companions work. These are the player-facing shifts worth checking first.

01

Portable co-op characters

Bring a selected solo character into a friend’s world.

02

Independent guest saves

Guest character progress now saves every 30 seconds.

03

Optional companion permadeath

It is disabled by default in the current update.

04

Better companion tracking

Sent-home and dismissed companions stay marked.

05

Alchemy filtering

Ingredient filters and harvesting flow reduce inventory friction.

06

Multiplayer reliability

Movement, saves, transfers and split-screen received fixes.

07

Party status bars

Optional health, stamina and magic bars improve party awareness.

08

Save and load improvements

Faster menus and safer slot handling support the new co-op model.
