A Plague Tale: Requiem Update Released Alongside Patch Notes

By Tyler Fischer

A Plague Tale: Requiem developer Asobo Studio has released a new update across Nintendo Switch, PC, PS5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. The game's third update -- dubbed Update 1.0.3 -- doesn't come with any new content or features, but it does come with a host of bug fixes and optimization improvements. Further, and most notably, it has rebalanced the difficulty of two different parts of the games that players were complaining were a little too difficult compared to the rest of the game. 

Unfortunately, while Asobo Studio has provided the patch notes for the update, it's not provided any information about file sizes, which means we have minimal insight into how long the update will take to download platform to platform. All that can be noted is the file size should be smaller, regardless of the platform, given the smaller size of the patch notes and the lack of new content it comes with. 

Below, you can check out the complete and official patch notes for yourself:
