As promised by Asobo, a new patch with the second World Update has launched today – Version 1.11.6.0. This version includes the United States World Update as well as several fixes and improvements. The update includes updated elevation maps and aerial imagery for large parts of the USA as well as some new airports and more than 50 new points of interest. As with the previous patches, we will quickly go over some points for managing your add-ons. Check out the YouTube Launch Trailer.

IMPORTANT: As with the previous world update (Japan), before you can use it or see it in game, you first have to “purchase” and download the content in the marketplace. It’s free. To do so, simply go to the marketplace in-game, and you’ll find the “World Update II: USA” package there, simply click on it and click on “Buy & Download” in the top right to download the package. After having downloaded the package, you’ll find it in your content manager in-game (found under profile). All of the packages should automatically be enabled in your content manager.

Do I need to do anything with add-ons in the community folder?

Like any other patch, it should be safe to leave the files in your community folder. If you run into any performance or stability issues, Asobo recommends you move your community package(s) to another folder before relaunching the title in that case.

What is the file size of the update?

The main app update is approximately 250 MB and the downloadable content in-game is approximately 12.75 GB. Do note that the actual download size may very depending on what version of the game you have purchased. The World Update II: USA package in the marketplace is approximately 4.24 GB.
