A new update for Dragon’s Dogma 2 has already arrived for PlayStation 5 and PC, but Xbox owners will have to wait a few more days for the patch that brings some of the features Capcom promised.

The patch is now available for PlayStation 5 and PC (Steam). On Sony’s console (and later on Microsoft’s hardware…) there is an option to turn off ray tracing, but Capcom says it won’t have a significant impact on performance, nor will turning off motion blur, which is also a good new feature as not everyone likes this graphical effect.

We’ve also gotten something the community has been asking for: even if you have a save in the game, you can start a new one. Capcom has promised to improve the frame rate in future updates, but until then it might be a good idea to allow a 30 FPS limit, as the game, which runs on the RE engine, directed by Hideaki Itsuno (also director of Devil May Cry since Devil May Cry 2) a dozen years after the first installment, runs at an unlimited frame rate. On PC, DLSS, Nvidia’s upscaling technology, has been improved; more details on Capcom’s website.

Meanwhile, the Japanese company is already thinking about expanding its content. Although it hasn’t been officially announced by Capcom yet, Dragon’s Dogma 2 has received a survey asking those who fill it out if they would like to buy DLC. The first Dragon’s Dogma also received a content expansion after its release: Dark Arise, for example, added the Bitterblack Isle dungeon to the base game about a year after its release. We can’t guess from the survey how Dragon’s Dogma 2 will be expanded, but we can guess one possible option from the example of Dark Arisen.

Of course, these expansions won’t eliminate microtransactions, for which mods have already been created… but Capcom and Bandai Namco aren’t too fond of YouTube videos showing mods these days.
