After years of early access and a console version that was left in the dust, 7 Days to Die has finally hit the big 1.0 milestone. And while the update is a treat for all fans of the zombie survival sandbox, it seems that those who abandoned the game years ago are reaping the biggest rewards.
For console players who had been stuck with the outdated Alpha 15 version, the jump to 1.0 has been nothing short of revelatory. Suddenly, they have access to years’ worth of content, improvements, and fixes that PC players have been enjoying for ages.
A Whole New World for 7 Days to Die Console Players

It’s clear that for console players, the 1.0 update is more than just a patch—it’s a whole new game, and they’re diving in headfirst.
The Little Things Make a Big Difference
While 7 Days to Die 1.0 brings a wealth of new content and features, it’s the smaller quality-of-life changes and bug fixes that have made the biggest difference for many veteran players.
One such issue that has plagued players for years is the random despawning of base parts, a heartbreaking bug that could undo hours of hard work in an instant. With the 1.0 update, this issue has finally been addressed, much to the relief of long-time players:

It’s clear that The Fun Pimps has been listening to player feedback and working hard to address the issues that have been holding the game back. From bug fixes to subtle yet thoughtful quality-of-life improvements, the 1.0 update has brought a level of polish and refinement to the game that has been sorely lacking in previous versions.
As 7 Days to Die enters this new chapter, it’s clear that the 1.0 update was worth the wait. Whether you’re a console player who’s been left behind, a die-hard fan who’s stuck with the game through thick and thin, or a newcomer who’s just discovering the joys of zombie-slaying and base-building, there’s never been a better time to jump in.
