Just like with the PC integration, accessing Community Maps is straightforward from the in-game menu.

Brutality Level – We understand that with the Gut Feeling update, we've increased the level of gore, which could impact the streaming experience. Now, you have the option to select between Full, Limited, and Minimum brutality settings in the Preferences. It's important to be aware that the Brutality Switch is not accessible in Germany and Japan due to restrictions on gore.
Prologue Changes – Great news for players who are eager to dive right into the action! This update brings the option to skip the Prologue and start the game directly with the "Getting Stronger" quest. This also allows access to the co-op mode faster! Don't worry: if you skip the Prologue, you'll still receive tutorial pop-ups, just in case you want to refresh your survival skills.
Alterations – We're also introducing a new type of occasional game modifier called Alterations. Our aim is to reintroduce short-time activities for players to infuse the world of Dying Light with vibrancy and fun. Of course, if they don't suit your preferences, you can deactivate Alterations in the Settings, by switching Off the Community event participation.
