Following concerns of early reviews criticizing the frame rate of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PlayStation 4, CD Projekt RED promised that the game’s day one patch would be better “once we officially launch the game” according to community manager Marcin Momot on Twitter.

Momot also noted that, “It will be automatically available when the game officially releases.” But that’s not all. A CD Projekt RED representative told GameSpot that the patch would be out on all platforms and that it would offer “overall performance improvements including fixing texture pop-in issues.

A new teaser for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has also been released called “A Night to Remember” with the full trailer coming out today. Watch it and get even more hyped for the game’s release on May 19th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Mortal Kombat X isn’t due to release until April 14th but retails have already begun to sell the game early, according to the Mortal Kombat community on Reddit. Users have reported receiving their copies early and plenty of Twitch streams have begun to emerge (though they are removed later).

More than spoilers though, the early release has confirmed that NetherRealm Studios’ online fighter has a day one patch. At 1.8 GB, it updates the game to version 1.01 and aims to improve online stability, improve multiplayer invites, implement gameplay fixes and balancing, fix localized languages and squash other bugs.

The patch also apparently reduces the currency earned from winning fights, which is necessary for unlocking new Krypt events. It’s possible that this is an unintentional change or simply a late balance adjustment. Regardless, we’ll find out more when the game releases worldwide.

Mortal Kombat X will be available next week for Xbox One, PS4, PC, iOS and Android. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions will be out in June.

Turtle Rock Studios’ Evolve is nearly available for consumers worldwide but the studio is still working to optimize the experience as much as possible. To that effect, it has revealed that the day one patch for the game will require 3 GB of installation space and introduces a host of tweaks and changes.

Some of those encompass balancing between the different Hunters and Monsters to ensure each is “finely tuned”. Many of the changes introduced however are meant to further improve performance for matchmaking, network bandwidth usage and much more. Other various changes include fixing different bugs, adding connectivity to the Evolve Hunters Quest app and a reworking for the Elite skins of Hunters and Monsters.

Evolve will be out on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. It’s already begun to receive positive praise but the online experience is still relatively untested. Stay tuned for more information on the same in the coming days.

Grand Theft Auto 5 is now available for the Xbox One and PS4, marking its debut on the current generation of consoles (with the PC version still to release in January 2015). Though there have been some issues for those transferring their characters from the PS4 to PS3 and Xbox 360 to Xbox One, everything seems more or less dapper.

With that in mind, Rockstar has confirmed that a day one patch for the game is now live and will be required for playing Grand Theft Auto Online. The patch is 1.14 GB – if you’re unable to download it, then you can still play the single-player campaign. However, multiplayer won’t be accessible without it.

Grand Theft Auto 5 on PS4 and Xbox One adds a ton of new features over the previous generation. Along with a complete visual revamp, there are new radio stations and songs, new weapons, new missions and a brand new first person mode which works great. What are your thoughts on the game thus far? Let us know in the comments.

Reports began circulating earlier this week that Machinegames’ Wolfenstein: The New Order would be requiring a day one patch to work when it released. While the day one patch was estimated to be 5 GB – likely for previous gen platforms – it was apparently to be 7.3 GB on the Xbox One. It also seemed that the game would be unplayable without the day one patch.

So count on Bethesda’s Pete Hines to utterly dispel these claims on Twitter. Would Wolfenstein: The New Order indeed require a day one patch to work? Responding to El33tonline, Hines said, “Absolutely not. utter nonsense. I’ve been playing for a week with no patch. There is one, fixes some stuff, not required.”

Wolfenstein: The New Order will be releasing on May 20th worldwide for the Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Among many things, it will also mark the debut of the DOOM beta for those who pre-ordered. Stay tuned for more.

Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall is already being played, thanks to the few people who managed to get their hands on a copy early. To that end, the developer has released its Day One patch for the Xbox One version. It requires 840 MB of space and it’s still a bit early for deciding what it does.

Patches before major releases aren’t new – heck, Dead Rising 3’s Operation Eagle DLC received a massive 13 GB patch for the main game one day before release – but it is good that Respawn is taking into account those who are already playing the game. Especially since co-founder Vince Zampella has clarified that they won’t be banning early players.

Titanfall will be releasing on Xbox One and PC on March 11th in North America and March 14th in Europe. The Xbox 360 version will release on March 25th/28th and is being handled by Blue Point Entertainment. Have you gotten your hands on the game early? Let us know your thoughts in the comments, you lucky souls.

Speaking to Engadget, Penello stated that, “You need the day one update. Functionally, you will be able to do very little without taking the day one update. A lot of the apps come with the day one update because they wouldn’t have even been done. You’re gonna need to take this update. It’s not gonna be really an optional thing.”

So one way or another, you’ll need an internet connection – at least this one time – to use the Xbox One when it launches on November 22nd across 13 territories worldwide.
