The update brings a host of changes to the game, including tweaks to how some of its bsos fights work, as well as general updates to improve the performance of the game. Check out the complete patch notes below.

Update:

The price hike from $60 to $70 was already controversial, but as reported by Exputer, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick thinks the industry should go a step further, and that games should be priced at their "per-hour value".

Publisher PLAYISM, publisher and developer WSS playground, and developer Team Ladybug have announced side-scrolling action game Blade Chimera for Switch and PC (Steam). It will launch in spring 2024.

Publisher CI Games and developer Hexworks have announced the free content roadmap for Lords of the Fallen, which includes weekly updates focused on further stability, performance optimizations, and balancing improvements, multiple new quest lines, new spells, and more.

Alan Wake 2, the long-awaited sequel to Remedy Entertainment’s 2010 cult action-horror game, was released last week and has already inspired an effusive reception.

Alan Wake 2 is a tale about the outrageous horror story Alan is writing, and much of it comes to life in Bright Falls because of the Dark Place. There are Manuscript Pages that you can find that detail significant parts of the story, and several appear in Bright Falls.

The Cult Stashes you find in Alan Wake 2 can be extremely helpful in keeping your supplies high throughout the course of your playthrough. There are several you can find while exploring Bright Falls.

Become a true Alex Casey superfan in Alan Wake 2. Here’s where to find the last Lunchboxes in Bright Falls, the third major map Saga will need to explore in her campaign. This expansive area includes the Downtown, Bunker Woods and Valhalla Nursing Home area. You’ll also acquire the Boltcutters during Saga’s chapter — finally allowing you to access locked areas in all three maps. The woods are also one of the most dangerous locations for randomly spawning Taken. You might need these locations to get the last collectibles in your collection.

We’re about to gain access to even more retro classics on Switch (and several other platforms) come January. The Top Racer Collection features remastered SNES racing games to play, and it’s set to launch on January 11, 2024 on Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One/Series S|X, and Steam.
