Digimon Story Time Stranger PS5 Patch Fixes a Long, Long List of Quest-Breaking Bugs

by

A recent update for Digimon Story Time Stranger addresses several bugs that could have prevented players from completing quests.

We were surprised by how many problems players are finding in the new RPG, but it’s good that Bandai Namco is working to fix them.

This update also includes several general improvements. It fixes issues where objective markers weren’t displaying correctly and resolves some frustrating problems in battles, such as buffs not working as expected.

The update also includes general usability improvements and small changes to visuals like backgrounds, characters, and text. This is a bit unclear, but it likely addresses minor visual errors, typos, and formatting issues.
