Arkane Studios’ first big update for Deathloop is now live on PS5 and PC. Weighing roughly 5 GB on the former and 11 GB on the latter, it adds Nvidia DLSS support, an HDR calibration screen on console and more. PS5 players can expect better performance and stability when ray tracing is enabled while NPCs now have improved pathing and reactions.
The vibrations on DualSense along with audio mix quality have also been improved. Aleksis Dorsey’s reactions have also been fixed, thus making it easier to identify him later. For those playing as Julianna, her actions will no longer unlock Trophies meant for Colt and she can no longer hear radio conversations meant for the latter.
For PC players, this update fixes the issues that resulted in frame drops and hitches in camera movement, though it remains to be seen if the stuttering that some players experienced is gone completely.
