Hand in hand with BlitWorks and Private Division, we have developed the first console-optimized DLC for Kerbal Space Program Enhanced Edition and a very substantial free update that we are very happy to release for players to enjoy on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The first downloadable content for the critically acclaimed space simulation game adds new content to Kerbal Space Program Enhanced Edition, featuring missions inspired by historical events, and a wealth of new parts for players to use across their KSP experience. Historic Missions History and Parts Pack includes 10 exciting missions inspired by humankind’s own space exploration. Now you can spacewalk, pull off a crash landing, and attempt to recreate some of the most memorable moments inspired by historic events. All with our unique Kerbal twist, of course. New Parts and a Vintage Suit This DLC also includes dozens of new parts along with a new astronaut suit, all inspired by the historic Space Race. Players can use these parts and suits throughout Kerbal Space Program. New Launch Sites! Additionally, you will also have the ability to launch your crafts from 4 additional complexes: the Woomerang Launch Site, the Dessert Complex, the Island Runway and a brand new Mun Launch Site, not currently available on PC! Free Update Coupled with the DLC, Kerbal Space Program Enhanced Edition is getting a content-filled console-optimized update that will take bits and pieces of all updates we have released on PC after 1.2.1; some of the ones that people like the most, as well as performance improvements, bug fixes, and more! Kerbal Personal Parachutes Personal Parachutes are coming to KSP Enhanced Edition! Kerbals with level 3 and above experience will have fully steerable personal parachutes. You will be able to deploy the chutes using the cursor or via the secondary radial menu. All part revamps up to PC 1.5 There has been a big effort on our side to give old parts a fresh new look, all with the intention of having a more sleek and cohesive part catalog. While staying true to the game’s original essence, the geometry and texture maps of these parts were completely redone. Some of these parts also include new texture variants to choose at will. Yes, you’re getting the variant switcher too! New Suits Both the recruit and veteran classic EVA and IVA Space Suits have been given a well-deserved overhaul and console players get to enjoy it now as well! We knew that such an iconic element of the game needed to stay true to its identity, so we are keeping its style, while also giving it a sleeker look. And more! Check out the Changelog for further details: ========================= KSP Enhanced Edition Patch 3 ======================= +++Changes * Updated Unity version from 5.5 to 2017.4 * Updated Kerbal suits and added Kerbal suit variant support. * Added support for part variants. * Improved some existing parts. * Kerbals can now be assigned to a Command Seat from VAB/SPH. * Added EVA chute. * Removed KSPedia from the game (functionality replaced online) +++Fixed Bugs * Fixed scroll in crew assignment window after filling all seats * Fixed user not being unable to select the Staging region with the Simplified preset after reverting to the VAB when in Sandbox. * Fixed buildings not being accessible when returning to the main menu while in the flag window * Fixed pause menu failing to have functionality when opening a Contract Complete window and pausing the title during gameplay. * Improved performance in some saving and loading scenarios * Fixed Vessel editing becoming non-functional after transmitting data with the "Mystery Goo Containment Unit" Kerbal Space Program Enhanced Edition and the History and Parts Pack are available in the Xbox Marketplace and the PlayStation Store.

Dear KSP community, We have experienced some technical issues with the release of the History and Parts Pack DLC for Kerbal Space Program Enhanced Edition and the free content update for both PS4 and Xbox One. These issues would have hindered our players’ experience, so we have decided to hold back this release until they can be addressed. We realize that many of you were truly excited about tomorrow’s release, but we believe that making this decision was the right thing to do in order to launch with the best experience. As soon as we have confirmed the new release date we will share it with all of you. Thank you, -The KSP Development Team

Dear Kerbal Space Program community, Take-Two Interactive has been updating its End User License Agreements and the Kerbal Space Program EULA is changing soon as a part of that process. Open communication with the Kerbal Space Program community has been a hallmark of the game and a big reason for its positive evolution over the years, so we wanted to give all of you advance notice that the End User License Agreement will be changing on March 15, 2019. The main change in the updated EULA is an added arbitration clause which is a common license provision. In plain English, that means that any potential disagreement between Take-Two Interactive and you will be resolved using an arbitration process. If you do not want to participate in arbitration, there is an opt out period of 30 days starting from the day of the change’s implementation on March 15, 2019. In order to opt out, a written notification must be mailed to Take Two Interactive Software, Legal Department, Attn: Arbitration Opt Out, 110 West 44th Street, New York, New York, 10036. The notice must include (1) your full name; (2) your mailing address; and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with the Company through arbitration. You are responsible for ensuring the Company’s receipt of your opt-out notice, and you therefore may wish to send a notice by means that provide a written receipt. We deeply appreciate everyone’s understanding.
