Sniper Elite 5 Update 1.30 Fires Out as a Surprise Patch Implementing Campaign, Multiplayer Fixes and More

Rebellion has sprung a surprise patch for Sniper Elite 5 on all platforms this December 3, and this is to fix issues with multiplayer, the campaign, and more. Given the last patch for the game was released over a year ago, and this patch was pushed out without any previous announcement, this title update, which shows up as Sniper Elite 5 update 1.30 (PS5/XSX version 1.030) should be a welcome holiday treat to players.
