Astral Chain’s Day 1 Patch Fixes Some Minor Issues

PlatinumGames’ Astral Chain is out now, and as is often the case, the developer’s put out a day one patch for the game to fix some issues, all of which are pretty minor. There’s plenty of quality of life improvements, like an item sort function being added to the menu, as well as letting players sell multiple items at shops at once.

There’s also a “type” category when sorting items using the sort function, while players can also delete multiple ability codes at once. There’s also some other general changes, like balance fixes, a couple of bugs that led to glitched quest progression and freezes, and other fixes “to allow for a more comfortable gameplay experience”. You can check out the full patch notes below.

Astral Chain is out now exclusively for the Nintendo Switch on August 30th. If you don’t yet have the game, you can check out over 30 minutes of gameplay footage through here to see if it’s something that might interest you.
