Dragon's Dogma 2 is off to a rocky launch but Capcom promise to address many of the issues that players are complaining about

Dragon's Dogma 2 received mostly negative reviews and criticism after its questionable launch on Steam. Capcom are set to release their first patch to address some of the issues players discovered.

After the somewhat bumpy launch of Dragon's Dogma 2 on Steam, Capcom received mostly negative reviews and widespread criticism due to performance issues. What made matters worse was the fact that Capcom hid the concept of microtransactions all this time.

To address this, Capcom has issued an official apology to the community and has further stated that they are actively investigating and addressing critical issues reported by players, such as crashes and freezing. These high-priority issues will be addressed in the upcoming patches. 

In a new post on social media X (formerly known as Twitter), Capcom revealed a slate of planned updates for Dragon's Dogma 2 that should be released soon across all platforms.

Some of the highlights include a new game option, 30 FPS cap, the option to turn off motion blur and ray-tracing and improved DLSS. Read on below for the full list of upcoming improvements. 

Planned updates for Dragon's Dogma 2

All platforms (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam)

  • Addition of a new Game option 
  • Adding the option to start a new game when save data already exists.
  • Changing the number of "Art of Metamorphosis" items available at Pawn Guilds in the game to 99.
  • Making the quest that allows players to acquire their own dwelling (where they can save and rest) available earlier in the game.
  • Miscellaneous text display fixes.
  • Miscellaneous bug fixes.
