Capcom released a patch for Dragon’s Dogma 2 on PC and PS5 on March 29, 2024, with the Xbox Series X set to get the update in a few days. As previously reported, the patch will add the option to start a new game more easily and make some amenities easier to access.
As well as fixing some text display issues, the biggest part of the update will be adding an option to start a new game even when save data already exists. While it was possible previously, it required manually deleting save data in the game files.
Other changes include making it easier to obtain a house in major cities and increasing the number of Art of Metamorphosis items available from 2 to 99. This item is what lets players edit the appearance of their character or Pawn, and the previous limit drew criticism due to the item also being sold for real money.
Playstation players will additionally gain the option to toggle motion blur and ray tracing effects in the options menu, or to add a 30 FPS cap. Steam users, meanwhile, received some fixes for display issues including when using the DLSS super resolution mode.
