The December update for Final Fantasy XV is now live on PS4 and Xbox One, adding the much-anticipated feature that allows you to swap characters freely during combat and use their respective battle mechanics. The patch, which weighs 13GB on PS4 or 18GB on Xbox One, also adds several new features and support for the next character episode DLC.
In order to swap characters on the fly, you first need to unlock the character switching ability in the Ascension Tree under the Techniques section for 20 AP. Take note that you can only switch characters mid-combat, which means you can only use Noctis to walk around in the large open-world of Eos.
In addition to the character swapping feature, the latest update adds compatibility for the Episode Ignis DLC in preparation for its launch on Dec. 13. The patch also brings bug fixes, new timed quests, and new playlist soundtrack from the expansions. Below is the full patch notes for the latest Final Fantasy XV update:

- Implementation of character swap feature (available in Ascension: Techniques)
