Overview
- Wildlight shipped back‑to‑back patches that it says cut crashes by about 90% and added key controls like console FOV sliders, ADS and crouch toggles, and new PC graphics options including DLSS presets and the ability to disable global illumination.
- A second update within a day introduced optimization tweaks and a limited‑time 5v5 option after in‑game UI changes hinted at larger teams.
- Steam user reviews have shifted from an initial "Mostly Negative" to overall "Mixed," and reviews filtered to players with more than three hours trend mostly positive in separate analyses.
- Despite technical fixes, Steam concurrent players have fallen sharply from an all‑time peak near 97,000 to under 10,000 within days, according to multiple trackers and reports.
- Industry figures from Larian, Remedy, and others criticized pile‑on negativity, while Wildlight CEO Dusty Welch acknowledged a poor reveal trailer and said the toxicity is challenging as he questions the decision to debut at The Game Awards.
