Planet Zoo 1 vs Planet Zoo 2 - Community Q&A

Quick answer: Planet Zoo 2 is a separate sequel, not an update that requires Planet Zoo 1. No official source reviewed says the first game will be removed, and ownership of Planet Zoo 1 or its DLC should not be treated as automatic Planet Zoo 2 roster access unless Frontier announces such a benefit.
