The Sinking City 2 Hotfix 1.0.2: What Changed
A dated guide to The Sinking City 2 Hotfix 1.0.2, the platforms it covers, and the checks to run after updating.
Quick answer
The Sinking City 2 Hotfix 1.0.2 went live on August 21, 2026 for the PC version on Steam, GOG and the Epic Games Store. Frogwares lists it as a maintenance hotfix, not a new story or content drop. Console players should use the separate 1.0.1 console patch released on August 25 instead of assuming that the PC number applies to PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S.
What the hotfix changes
Frogwares’ support feed says Hotfix 1.0.2 adds an additional notification about outdated graphics drivers. That matters because a driver warning can explain a startup crash or missing rendering option before you change in-game settings. The public note does not promise a universal performance gain, new quest, or save conversion, so those claims are outside this page’s evidence.
| Version | Date | Platforms | Use this page for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hotfix 1.0.2 | Aug 21, 2026 | Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store | PC driver-warning change |
| Patch 1.0.1 | Aug 25, 2026 | PS5, Xbox Series X|S | Console fixes and version check |
Why the version boundary matters
The game launched on August 18, so early troubleshooting pages and review captures can describe an older build. Mixing the PC hotfix with the console patch makes it impossible to tell whether a reported crash or visual issue was actually addressed. Record your platform, store build and update date before comparing reports.
How to verify your install
- Finish the download in your storefront and restart the game once.
- Check the launcher or title-screen build number, then note whether the driver warning appears.
- Re-test the action that failed: startup, loading a save, subtitles or a graphics option. Do not treat one successful boot as proof that every issue is fixed.
- If the problem remains, use Frogwares Support and include the platform, GPU driver version, build number and steps to reproduce.
The official support feed is the source for the hotfix scope; the Steam listing is the live PC version reference. Patch notes and storefront builds can change, so this page does not invent undocumented fixes.
