Among the notable changes brought by update v757 includes new activation controls for Admin command.
Now, players need to simultaneously press LB+RB+X+Y on the Pause menu to activate the Admin command. In addition, players can now launch the Island and open the command menu if they would like to play The Center map bypassing The Island. If the player types in the cheat, playercommand Ascend1, they can now load The Center as normal.
PS4 patch
For PlayStation 4 users, Studio Wildcard scheduled the release of the update on Monday, July 3. The delays in the release of the patch for the consoles have been caused by several bugs that the studio has to fix. Hopefully, the patch for PS4 rolls out as scheduled.
