Dragon’s Dogma 2: Plans for upcoming updates
When should the patches be released? Capcom is currently still available no information about when the first patch should appear and at what frequency they can be expected. The X post simply says “as soon as they’re ready.”
Contents of the patches: Players on all platforms should be able to start a new game despite existing save data. This is currently only possible via detours.
On the consoles there should at least be an option to set the FPS to a fixed 30, but that doesn’t say whether frame drops will be a thing of the past.
