Fallout 4's survival mode patch has finally arrived on PlayStation 4. Available to download right now, update version 1.06 weighs in at around 2.4GB, so you may want to get it downloading if you're planning on exploring the Commonwealth this evening.

As hinted, the patch adds the highly anticipated, revamped survival mode to the post-apocalyptic release, which forces you to eat, drink, and sleep to stay alive in the wasteland. It also makes combat more deadly for all combatants, upping the damage output of both you and your opponents, while healing via stimpaks and other items is a more gradual process.

The update also promises to fix a good few bugs, and supposedly improves how the third-person viewpoint behaves in cramped spaces. All in all, it should prove to be a worthwhile patch.
