Dying Light 2: Stay Human Lets Players Enjoy Community Maps Directly from the Game

Good Night Good Luck Update Techland

Do you like playing custom maps in Dying Light 2: Stay Human? If so, the recently released Good Night Good Luck update has added a new option that allows you to play on community maps directly from the main menu.

This is made possible via the game's official integration with Mod.io - a third-party platform that makes modding games and adding user-generated content quick and easy.

When you fire the game up, you will find the new "Community Maps" section on the main menu. Clicking on it presents you with a number of maps that you can enjoy in the game - all without painstakingly installing those maps yourself.

While this feature is a godsend, especially for those who love user-generated content, there are some things to keep in mind. Custom maps must be completed from start to finish because progress cannot be saved. Currently, co-op is currently not available for Community Maps, so going solo is the only option. And lastly, custom scripts that modify gameplay are not supported, meaning only custom maps are shown on the menu.

The Community Maps feature is available only on PC at the moment. However, according to the developers, it will arrive on other platforms later this year.
