Returnal is one of our favorite games of the new generation (our review) but players have been awaiting a new patch to hopefully fix some of the bugs and crashes. Fortunately, update 1.3.3 is now live.
The update notes are rather short, but address some of the key items players have discussed. You can find them below (linked from the Housemarque site).
-
Fixed an issue where certain Trophies might not unlock under specific gameplay conditions. Note: missing Trophies will need to be replayed to unlock.
-
Multiple stability fixes addressing rare crashes/hangs.
-
Fixed issue with pre-order suits occasionally blocking item collection and door opening.
-
Fixed incorrect healing behaviour when resting in Helios.
-
Configuration changes to increase the number of scout corpses available in all biomes.
-
Fixed issues with certain custom controller mappings.
-
Numerous minor fixes and improvements.
Our Take
As we noted in our review, we experienced both crashes and lost trophies so hopefully this helps new players have a better experience!
