Developer Arkane Studios and publisher Bethesda Softworks have shared a new blog post on the official site of action-adventure Deathloop to announce that the first major update for the game is now out for PC & PS5. It weighs approximately 5GB on PS5 and 11GB on PC and improves several aspects of gameplay experience, camera smoothness and NPC behaviors. Additionally, the update resolves several issues that could cause the game to crash.
Welcome to the island of Blackreef, where the fun never stops and every day is a celebration of debauchery and chaos… unless you’re Colt, a prisoner in this timeloop who is being hunted by every person on the island. You have 24 hours, 8 targets, and 1 rival assassin hunting you down… Do whatever it takes to break the timeloop.
