by · DSOGaming

Nixxes Software and Kojima Productions have released Title Update 1.6 for Death Stranding 2 and shared its full patch notes. So, let’s see what this new patch brings to the table.

Patch 1.6 resolves an issue that caused temporary freezes for some players after last week’s Patch 1.5 update. The devs have also included various performance optimizations and fixes for rare crashes.

Going into more details, Update 1.6 reduces CPU usage during the Lord of the Tar Lake boss fight. As such, the game should run more smoothly on a variety of PCs during that fight.

Moreover, it fixes a bug that caused the eyelashes of Higgs and Heartman to appear jittery when upscaling quality was set to Performance. It also fixes a crash that could occur when clicking the empty tab header in the Map Icon filter menu. Additionally, usernames on the Epic Games Store that contain spaces now display correctly.

Like always, Steam will download this update the next time you launch its client. Below, you can also find its full changelog.
