Dragon's Dogma 2 has been through a bit of a rough start to its post-launch adventure. The hotly-debated microtransactions (in a singleplayer game), the framerate issues, and the inability to begin a new game once you've already created a save file have all negatively impacted player sentiment. Thankfully, Capcom has dealt with at least one of those issues - the latter - along with a couple more fixes and quality-of-life additions. The patch is currently for PS5 and PC/Steam, although the Xbox update will come "in the next few days".

You can see the full patch notes below:
