A brand-new Remnant 2 update has been rolled for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, packing numerous balance changes, fixes, and improvements.
The new console-specific patches are available for download now and should be downloaded automatically to your console if this feature has been enabled. If not, it's also possible to download the patch manually through the game update settings. "This is the first major update intended to address many of the bigger issues right now, but there will be more updates to come – including an additional update we’re planning to release later this week that will address balance changes, bug fixes, and quality of life improvements", the development team writes.
The new patch comes with performance improvements and aims to resolve several crashing issues on both platforms. In addition, on Xbox, the patch improves hitching. Although the PS5 and Xbox patches both pack plenty of bug fixes and improvements, the team has promised yet another patch for Xbox players. This upcoming patch is planned to be released later this week and will include additional balance changes, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements that have already been included in the PS5 patch.
Xbox players: We’re planning to release another patch later this week to address the balance changes, bug fixes, and quality of life improvements mentioned in the PS5 patch notes. We wanted to at least get out a patch to address the bigger issues for now.

To see the full patch notes, check out the PS5 release notes and the Xbox Series release notes. The sequel to 2019's Remnant: From the Ashes was released late last month and has been doing quite well since its release. We reviewed the game upon release and praised its procedural world, visuals, replayability, co-op mode, and character building.
"Remnant II is an impressive technical and artistic accomplishment in some ways, offering an intermittently-striking, cutting-edge procedural world that’s satisfying to unravel", we wrote in our review. "Unfortunately, a forgettable story, middle-of-the-road gunplay, dull loot, and some performance issues means this fantastic world isn’t always that fun to inhabit. Some folks, particularly those with a regular co-op party, will be drawn into this dark multiverse, but others may find Remnant II only provides scattered fragments of excitement amidst the frustration."
