Well, we spent nearly one year of development time to implement over 30 major updates to the base game based directly on feedback from our passionate MechWarrior community. This huge (and free) update covers a bit of everything with quality-of-life improvements that make managing and customizing your mechs a breeze, adjustments to UI and game systems, and new gameplay changes that add new bases and garrisons to explore and destroy as well as more variety and challenge throughout the game. It\u2019s difficult to show these off in a few in-game screenshots so here\u2019s a quick look at what you can expect:<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/New-Features.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1242\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/blast-some-heavy-metal-in-mechwarrior-5-mercenaries-with-xbox-game-pass-1.jpg\" alt=\"MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries - New Features\" class=\"wp-image-155008\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The life of a MechWarrior mercenary remains a dangerous and sometimes lonesome profession.
