Psychonauts 2, the critically acclaimed platformer game released by Double Fine, received a small update yesterday. The patch is live on all platforms, and it brings several new features. Almost a dozen bugs are squashed as well. However, do keep in mind that no new content has been added.
From now on, players can see all the available figments by visiting the figment viewer menu, whether they have found them or not. Otto-Shot photo mode will now show collectibles via Otto-Spot photo filter.
Game performance is improved on all platforms as well. The duplicate character bug in some cutscenes is fixed, and the stability of the photo mode is improved.

- Checkmarks appear in location selection menus to indicate if all collectibles in a location have been found.
- Otto-Spot photo filter to show collectibles in the Otto-Shot photo mode.
