Ironwood Studios has released its biggest free update for Pacific Drive, filled with tons of new features and improvements that change the way the popular roguelike feels to play. ‘Endless Expeditions’ will “redefine how players experience the Olympic Exclusion Zone.” The free update for Pacific Drive follows the news it has sold one million copies since launch. What’s more, it is currently 40% off on Steam until April 15, and on PS5 until April 23.
