Cold Iron Studios has pushed out Aliens: Fireteam Elite update 1.40 (PS5 version 1.040) on Alien Day, and it brings forth some quality of life changes. Read on for the complete details.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite Update 1.40 Patch Notes:

Aliens Fireteam Elite PS5 Update Version 1.040

For those unaware, the original Alien film takes place on moon Acheron or otherwise known as LV-426. This means that 4/26 (April 26) is celebrated as Alien Day by fans.

As for what’s new in this patch, here’s what’s mentioned by Cold Iron:

• In-game currency cap has been raised from 50,000 credits to 100,000 which means players can safely hoard and collect even more credits than before.
• The studio states they know how frustrating it is to lose challenge cards when a mission fails or a host drops out. With this update, challenge card packs in SSGT Park’s shop are now free.

That’s about it. Don’t expect a lot of updates for the game, as Cold Iron has already announced that they have moved on from it to their new unannounced project.

In other Alien game news, Survios has announced a new single-player Alien game for VR titled Alien: Rogue Incursion and it’s headed to all VR platforms.
