The unpatched players will not be able to see patched servers and vice versa in the browser list. The game will notify you of any available updates upon entering the MultiPrey menu or by clicking on the Update button on the main menu, and provide you with information on how to update. It is recommended that users patch their games in advance of multiplayer sessions in order to quickly join and create MultiPrey games with their friends. The previously announced new content (maps, multiplayer skins) is not part of this update, and will be made available at a later date.
