Ghost of Yotei Huge Patch 1.1 Out Now on PS5, Adds New Game+, Armour, and Much More

by

Ghost of Yotei‘s Update 1.1 is now available, delivering the major features and enhancements we previously announced for the game.

New Game+ lets you start the game over while keeping all your progress – your abilities and gear stay with you. Plus, you’ll find new and improved weapons, armor, and customization options to discover.

This update includes some surprising extras! Beyond the initial fixes, it now supports VRR, and we’ve added a variety of new accessibility features. We’ve also tweaked gameplay and given you the option to revisit completed camps and boss fights if you want to.

Below are the full patch notes, as posted by developer Sucker Punch:

Fixes

  • Various balance updates.

    • Restarting the controller at this time should resolve the black screen.

  • Fixed a bug during “Encounters of the Wild” that could cause the mission to become blocked if Ghost of Yotei was closed and reopened after looking up at the bear on the cliff.
  • Fixed a bug in “The Reckoning” that could cause the mission to become blocked if The Dragon duel was suspended and then Ghost of Yotei was closed and reopened.
  • Fixed several other bugs related to stability, performance, and rare mission blocking behaviors.

I’m so excited about this update and can’t wait to jump back into Ghost of Yotei! I’m already sharpening my virtual blade and getting ready – let me know in the comments if you are too!
