Shortly after its launch, Friday the 13th: The Game has been befallen by technical issues and the Xbox One players were most severely affected. They have been impatiently waiting for an Xbox One patch that would resolve the in-game bugs and allow them to make the most out of their gameplay.
A few hours ago, the game developer posted an announcement on the official Friday the 13th: The Game page on Facebook. The announcement reads that the Xbox One patch has been finally released.
The patch brings plenty of fixes. IllFonic and Gun Media explained that the development team has performed a major sweep on bugs. Crash instances on Xbox One have also been considerably decreased.
IllFonic and Gunmedia did not miss to thank the players for their patience and apologized for the delay. They also added that for the time being, the most serious issues have been resolved but additional improvements would follow. In conclusion, they expressed their hopes that the patch would elevate Xbox One players’ gameplay and bring the Friday the 13th: The Game in line with the PS4 and PC versions.
The release of the Xbox One patch was definitely a wise move on IllFonic’s end. As reported by RealGear, the developer has faced a barrage of criticism recently. Players were displeased with the fact that IllFonic is working on the Dead Alliance game release instead of trying to fix the Friday the 13th: The Game bugs.
Studio representatives have quickly addressed players’ concerns and explained that they have not abandoned the Friday the 13th: The Game because of the Dead Alliance arrival as the two games are developed by different teams. Now, when the Xbox One persistent issues are tackled, players across all platforms can start inquiring into the long-anticipated single-player mode.
