Marvel’s Avengers didn’t exactly had the smoothest of launches. The game was riddled with bugs and performance issues. Due to this, the game’s reception suffered badly. Crystal Dynamics has been constantly pushing out updates and patches to improve the state of the game. Yesterday, they released Update 1.3.1 that addresses several annoying issues. The patch went live on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and Stadia.
Players can now access Faction Missions / Villain Sectors. They can also earn rare rewards without any issues. Crystal Dynamics was kind enough to give every player 250 Polychoron and 500 Uru as an apology. You will have to play the game and claim them from Challenge Cards before October 1.
Now onto the patch notes. You can read the complete changelog below and on the official site.
