A new update is coming to , which will fix many of the game's biggest launch problems. Capcom's RPG was one of the most anticipated games of 2024, but its launch has been tainted somewhat by issues with game saves, poor performance, and the surprise inclusion of microtransactions upon its launch, which hadn't been disclosed to critics or potential customers beforehand.
Software Updates Can Fix (Almost) Everything Now

Have you updated your toaster recently? Though this may sound silly and far-fetched, we’re rapidly approaching the stage where everything is connected and able to receive over-the-air updates.
Update Your iPhone for Faster Charging
Apple’s iOS 17.2 update was a bit special, particularly if you have an iPhone that’s a few years old. Though we’re used to smartphone manufacturers adding new apps and features in their updates, rarely does an update go as far as doubling the wireless charging speed.
But that’s exactly what happened with iPhone 13 and later devices. As part of the introduction of the Qi2 wireless charging standard, Apple upped the wireless charging speed of these devices from 7.5w to 15w. You don’t even need a proprietary Apple MagSafe charger to take advantage of the speed boost, since Qi2 is an open standard.
Announced by the Wireless Power Consortium, Qi2 has been designed as a universal wireless charging system that incorporates magnets for more efficient (and less fiddly) wireless charging. Over time, Qi2 speeds are set to increase beyond the 15w ceiling so it’s possible we’ll see further improvements delivered over-the-air in the future.
Perhaps Apple planned this move years ago, or perhaps the standard evolved in such a way that the company realized existing hardware already met specifications. Either way, it’s a welcome addition for anyone who prefers charging pads to cables.
Sony Keeps Improving the PlayStation 5 With Updates
Software updates are part and parcel of owning a console, but for PlayStation 5 owners software updates have been transformative. In September 2021 the ability to upgrade system storage using the built-in M.2 slot was added to the PS5 among other features like 3D audio for TV speakers.
Later came “Hey, PlayStation” voice controls in early 2022. But arguably the biggest update came a year later in March 2023, when Sony added variable refresh rate (VRR) support, a feature that matches a display’s update rate to the frame rate of the game.
The biggest caveat is that games need to explicitly support VRR to make use of the feature, which can help eliminate screen tearing and make performance dips less noticeable. Sony added support for 1440p resolution in September 2022, but VRR doesn't work when using this mode.
And lastly, 2023 saw Sony add support for NVMe drives of up to 8TB in size (up from 4TB previously) and Dolby Atmos support in a single update. Fortunately, there are no signs that Sony is slowing down on continually updating the PS5, with an update that cleans up DualSense microphone quality added to the beta branch of Sony’s software updates in February 2024.
Many of these features were advertised and hotly anticipated when the PS5 was first
