Dead Rising 3 Update Brings “Host of Improvements” Including New Impulse Trigger

Capcom surprised us all by releasing a 13 GB update for Dead Rising 3 on the Xbox One ahead of the release of the Operation Eagle DLC. Now, as the DLC launches today, Microsoft explained to VG247 just what the update brings forth to players.

“Capcom Vancouver released a new title update today for Dead Rising 3 in advance of tomorrow’s launch of the game’s first DLC episode, Operation Broken Eagle.

“The update introduces a host of improvements to single-player and co-op gameplay, including a variety of performance and stability upgrades, and fixes for issues related to achievements, UI updates, SmartGlass and more. Additionally, it adds a new impulse trigger feature that notifies players when they are running low on ammo.”

We still have mixed reactions about this – how much was wrong with Dead Rising 3 if it needed a 13 GB update to correct it all? There hasn’t been any confirmation as to how the update plays into future episodes, so we’ll need to wait and find out. At least we know that the DLC doesn’t have co-op support.
