What you need to know
Capcom has announced it is planning to release several updates for Dragon's Dogma 2 across Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC via Windows and Steam.
These updates include allowing players to start a new save file, new graphics options, making a quest where players can acquire a house available much earlier, and more.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is an action-RPG where the player assumes the role of the Arisen, a mortal cursed to wander the land and save it from being terrorized by the Great Dragon.

No release dates for these updates have been announced yet, but Capcom will declare them once they are ready to be distributed on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Windows and Steam.
The list of updates planned for Dragon's Dogma 2 are as follows:

These update announcements have been made as a response to the large number of players reviewing bombing the game during Dragon's Dogma 2's launch. Between not being able to easily replace your current save file with a new one, unstable framerate performance issues, and difficulties with changing your character's and Pawn's appearance without resorting to microtransactions, suffice to say this game has not a good first impression with the gaming community.
It's a shame that Dragon's Dogma 2 is mired by such issues at launch, as this title is an incredible action-RPG despite them. Even our own Jez Corden has stated it's one of the best Xbox games and best PC games in recent memory in his review of Dragon's Dogma 2.
Hopefully, when these updates arrive and fix the issues players have been having, the gaming community will warm up to Dragon's Dogma 2 so they can better appreciate and experience one of Capcom's finest titles on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is now available for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Windows and Steam after releasing on March 22, 2024, for $69.99. If you're a fan of action-RPGs with complex combat systems and rich fantasy settings, then this title is a must-buy.
