This update should also bring fixes to the PS5 flickering lights issue, and the Chapter 12 progression bug glitch — both of which were addressed by Capcom as being part of the fixes in an upcoming patch.
Also something new that launched today alongside the patch is the introduction of microtransactions in the game! Capcom has rolled out ticket bundles for weapon upgrades that can be bought with real-world currency.
