- Arc System Works published a large, free update that targets online stability by improving cross-play between PS5 and PC and fixing matchmaking and connection issues.
- The patch changes core mechanics by lowering how often players can summon and tag in allies, a move meant to force more solo neutral play and make matches easier to read.
