DBD update 2.37 is now available to download on PS4 and Xbox One. According to the official DBD 2.37 patch notes, the latest update added a long list of gameplay improvements and bug fixes. Apart from this, DBD patch 2.37 also includes gameplay optimizations.
Previously, a major update was released which added a new Killer (The Cenobite), a large text setting, UI improvements, and more.
