Dead Cells update 1.37 is rolling out on PS4, Xbox One and PC (Steam). According to the official Dead Cell patch notes, the latest update added 30 NFTs that unlock exclusive content in the game. Apart from this, today’s Dead Cells patch 1.37 also includes stability fixes.
Previously, a major ‘Breaking Barriers’ update added loads of new options to improve accessibility, such as adjustable font type & size, input customization and individual adjustment of sound effect volumes.
Unfortunately, since the last patch, players are facing a number of problems with the game. Today’s Dead Cells version 1.37 will fix a few of these issues.
