The Blood of Dawnwalker Patch Notes and Update History

The Blood of Dawnwalker patch notes for PC, PS5, and Xbox, with verified versions, dates, quest fixes, known issues, and unconfirmed items separated.

Verified answer

Quick answer

The latest directly verified PC/Steam update is 1.0.3, published September 4, 2026 at 20:02:11 UTC. It is PC-only and adds Steam support for the DualSense controller.

The latest directly verified PS5 and Xbox update is 1.0.2. Hotfix 1.0.2 fixes three quest blockers on all platforms and adds PC-only input dead-zone and sprint changes.

Evidence checked September 8, 2026. PC and console version numbers currently differ.

Latest verified versions

  • PC / Steam: version 1.0.3, published September 4, 2026 at 20:02:11 UTC.
  • PlayStation 5: latest directly verified hotfix 1.0.2.
  • Xbox Series X|S: latest directly verified hotfix 1.0.2.

Version 1.0.3 is a PC-only update. A higher PC number does not imply that the console builds are missing the same feature set or waiting for an identically numbered patch.

Patch 1.0.3 — PC

The verified change is Steam support for the DualSense controller. The collected note does not establish new PS5 behavior, Xbox behavior, quest fixes, balance changes, a download size, or a build number beyond 1.0.3.

Hotfix 1.0.2 — all platforms

The official notes identify three quest fixes:

  • Farkas could remain interactable after being killed; the hotfix addresses that state.
  • The Lunka tutorial could be lost; the hotfix addresses that blocker.
  • Uriashi could fail to craft the holy sword; the hotfix addresses that progression issue.

The same update includes PC-only changes to controller input dead zones and sprint behavior. Those PC-specific items should not be copied into a console changelog.

Known issues preserved from the 1.0.2 notice

The 1.0.2 communication listed windowed or borderless stutter on PC, with Full Screen presented as a temporary workaround. It also mentioned shader-compilation crashes and advised checking whether the BIOS is up to date. That is a diagnostic suggestion, not a universal instruction to flash firmware; BIOS changes carry risk and should follow the hardware vendor’s documentation.

A missing PS5 gamepad-mapping option was also identified without a verified workaround. The official notes do not establish whether these items are fixed by PC 1.0.3 or by an unlisted later console build, so their current state is not publicly verified here.

What is not confirmed

The official sources do not provide a reliable next-patch date, download size, complete internal build ID, frame-rate fix list, New Game Plus addition, or universal resolution for community-reported issues. A platform store showing an update does not reveal its contents unless the publisher supplies notes.

Troubleshooting before assuming a patch failed

  1. Verify the version shown by the game or platform client.
  2. Confirm the fix is documented for your platform.
  3. Restart the game after installation and reproduce from a save made before the blocked step when possible.
  4. Preserve the affected save and record the quest, objective, platform, and version before reporting it.
