Insurgency Sandstorm update 1.08 is now available to download on consoles. You will need to install this latest version of the tactical shooter in order to play online and access online features.
Available for PS4 and Xbox One (as well as PS5 and Xbox Series X|S via backwards compatibility) update 1.08 deploys a lengthy list of game fixes.
This is the first console update for Insurgency Sandstorm in 2022. It follows on from December 2021’s free Warlord expansion which introduced a new map (Gap), new mode (Ambush), weapons, upgrades, and cosmetics.
Here is the full change log via developer New World Interactive.
