New patch adds Steam Marketplace functionality to H1Z1

Quality of life improved!

As promised, Daybreak Game Company rolled out a new patch today for H1Z1, implementing a number of "Quality of Life" fixes, as well as the eagerly awaited Steam Marketplace functionality.

Originally due out last week with the update that added female characters, the new feature was held back so that the developer could iron out all the bugs.

Well, they've been ironed and now you are able to buy, sell and trade items in your account inventory with other players.

"You will be able to see your items in your Steam Inventory. While we continue to do some testing, you will not be able to trade your items immediately. We’ll update everyone again when this is turned on. This will be the same for the marketplace. It will be enabled at some point Friday after some additional Live internal testing. We hope to have the marketplace up very quickly after we validate," Daybreak wrote.
