## Trivia

* The 1.5.0f1 Update and the Reap What You Crow DLC were released onto the Steam version of the game on December 14, 2021. However, neither arrived onto Xbox or Nintendo Switch until May 25, 2022. These same updates did not arrive to PS4 until June 2, 2022.
	+ 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.
* The 1.5.0f1 Update and the Reap What You Crow DLC released at the same time, a first for the game to receive two major content packages at once.
