Hello folks,

We’re dropping by to serve up a small hotfix today!

Focusing mainly on improving performance, this update should resolve some crashes on consoles and address certain issues on the Steam Deck. We’ve also gone ahead and bumped the default Upscaling Type from FSR 1 to FSR 2.2 on Steam Deck Native, which should result in sharper visuals overall.

We hope you’re all staying warm during sweater weather (or cool during sensible thin cardigan weather in the southern hemisphere).

Check out the hotfix notes below!
