## Trivia

In addition, it did not arrive on Xbox until May 28, 2021. Reportedly, this was mostly due to online leaderboards being difficult to implement onto these platforms.
	+ This means that the former port took 131 days while the latter took 162 days.

	+ Coincidentally, the port to Xbox and Nintendo Switch port also took 162 days, making this a tie between the Invasive Species Update port in terms of port time.
	+ The port of these content patches to PS4 took 170 days, making it the longest port in the game's history.
	+ The reason for this port's delay is unknown.
