Additionally, players will benefit from improved gameplay mechanics, including fixes for enemy interactions and fast travel issues. Ubisoft aims to continue supporting the popular remake with future updates, including a New Game Plus mode.
“The update is 15.2GB on Xbox Series X/S, 5.03GB on PlayStation 5, and 1.8GB on Steam, and becomes available at 7am Pacific, 10am Eastern, and 3pm UK. Other fixes address cutscenes locked at 30 FPS on PC, the Kraken wheel's incorrectly listed cost, which Ubisoft calls 'wheely expensive,' and Simplified Chinese localization updates.”
