007 First Light Update 1.013 Brings Back Improvements From Previous Patch via Version 1.0.5
IO Interactive has released a new game update for 007 First Light today, and this one might be a bit confusing to some players of the third-person action game.
Four days ago, the developers released game update 1.0.4, and this brought in quality-of-life improvements and a trove of bug fixes. However, that patch also introduced an offline-mode connection issue that required IO Interactive to revert the update.
Today, the issues with that update have been resolved, which means the improvements from that update are now live as part of 007 First Light update 1.013, which brings the game to version 1.0.5.
There’s a lot to take in with today’s update, so read on for everything that got improved and fixed in the official patch notes.
