The latestDragon’s Dogma 2update brings exciting news for Xbox players. Previously, PlayStation 5 and Steam users received thisDragon’s Dogma 2update, which introduced the ability to start a new game with existing save data and options to enhance visuals and frame rate. Xbox Series X and S players can now look forward to these same enhancements.
Dragon’s Dogma 2was recently released and quickly won over the public and critics. The cult RPG is a sequel toDragon’s Dogmaand took 12 years to hit the shelves. However, despite breaking records and garnering significant numbers of concurrent players on Steam,Dragon’s Dogma 2wasn’t free of criticism. Players complained about the difficulty of starting a new game after saving data, constant frame rate drops, and microtransactions.Capcom responded to players' backlashand promised future updates.
Honoring its promises, the publisher releasedDragon’s Dogma 2updates on all platforms, including themost recent patchfor Xbox Series X and S players. The update addresses the most common player complaints, such as microtransactions, frame rate issues, and the hassle of starting a new game. On Xbox Series X and S, there’s a new option to switch Motion Blur on and off and limit the frame rate to 30 FPS, while the option to turn Ray Tracing on or off is only available on Xbox Series X. However, Capcom adds a fine print in the patch notes mentioning that these options should not significantly affectDragon’s Dogma 2’sframe rateand that further refinements are planned.
The update also expands the number of “Art of Metamorphosis” items available at the Pawn Guilds to 99, fixes some bugs and text displays, and unlocks the quest for players to acquire their own home earlier. These updates mark thefirst wave ofDragon’s Dogma 2patchessince its release. Capcom has promised to continuously release new improvements to the RPG until players' concerns are addressed, and all backlash is resolved.
To tackle this, Capcom has launched a survey forDragon’s Dogma 2to ensure players are satisfied with the game. However, the most interesting aspect of the survey is how some questions hint about aDragon’s Dogma 2DLC. It asks if players would be interested in seeing additional content for the game and how much they would be willing to pay to acquire such content. The firstDragon’s Dogmareceived theDark Arisenexpansion, so it wouldn’t be surprising ifDragon’s Dogma 2also received additional gameplay content down the road.
