The latest superhero game by Square Enix, Guardians of the Galaxy, has received a positive reception from fans and critics. It was much needed as their previous hero game, Marvel’s Avengers, was nothing short of a disaster.
Even though the reviews are positive, GOTG does have some minor issues. The developer released a patch yesterday to address some of them. It also added new features like ray tracing to Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. The game performance on the original PS4 is improved, and the FPS cap on Xbox Series S has been removed. On Series S, players can now play GOTG between 30 to 60 FPS but a VRR display is recommended. The developer has said that the PC version of the update will go live tomorrow.
We have mentioned the highlights of the update below.
- Save Rollback: A hidden Save Rollback feature was added to allow users who have encountered blocking issues to roll back to the start of the chapter of their choice. Please see this thread for more details.
- Changed the sensitivity required for the Visor input so that controllers with more wear and tear may still detect the button press.
