Biomutant, the kung-fu fable game, received its first major update a few days ago. The game didn’t exactly receive a positive reception at launch. On Steam, it's currently sitting on a mixed rating but the developer is aware of this and is currently working hard to improve it. The update is only live on PC as of now while the version for consoles will release soon.
The tutorial area of the game received multiple changes. More early enemy encounters are added and missing loot is not missing anymore. Several dialogues are shortened and pacing has been improved. A new difficulty called “Extreme” is introduced that increases the enemy damage and attack rate. Multiple crash issues with AMD-based CPUs are addressed as well.
We have mentioned some of the highlights of the update below.

- Fixed crash with AMD-based CPUs with built-in graphics.
