Hellblade 2 hasn’t even been out for two weeks yet, but developer Ninja Theory has today delivered a pretty substantial patch for the Xbox Game Pass title.
Update 1.0.5.0 is now live for Hellblade 2, fixing a number of bugs and glitches found in the day-one version of the title. The game has performed very well on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S so far, but it’s always good to see any other small kinks ironed out this close to launch.
Anyway, here are the full patch notes for Hellblade 2 version 1.0.5.0:
