Deathloop players can expect improved stability and some new features starting today.
Deathloop has been released to some extremely positive reviews, including on GameSpot, where the game itself has had some issues. Players on both PS5 and PC encountered crashes, strange reactions from NPCs, and a boatload of other issues while exploring Deathloop's island. Most of these should now be gone, thanks to the game's first major patch.
Officially Game Update 1 The patch will download 5GB for PS5 users and 11GB for PC users. On the console side, gamers can look forward to an HDR calibrator for gaming so they're not stunned by their screens late at night when the sun rises in-game.
PC players, on the other hand, have many new features that come with this patch. Alongside the fixes for Deathloop's NPCs, anyone with one of Nvidia's more powerful graphics cards can now turn on Nvidia DLSS for a smoother 4K experience. Likewise, support for audio from Sony's DualSense controller has been added.
The full list of improvements from Deathloop's update today can be found below.
