Ghost of Yotei update adds VRR support; 40fps mode; NewGame+ and much more

Last week, the team at Sucker Punch Productions announced that they would be releasing a major patch for Ghost of Yotei, featuring a bunch of new additions including NewGame+; a harder difficulty option; new cosmetics and more. Available right now, patch 1.1 actually brings with it much more than expected – including a bunch of new graphics options; quality of life improvements; VRR support and more.

Releasing the patch notes to their support site, the team at Sucker Punch Productions officially detailed update 1.1 for Ghost of Yotei. Available to download now, the patch includes all of the previously-announced additions, namely:

• NewGame+
• Ghost Flower Vendor
• Harder difficulty option
• Extra trophies to earn
• Photo mode expansion
• New weapon upgrades
• Replay option

While all of this is of course welcome to see, patch 1.1 brings a number of even more exciting additions which they did not mention previously, including:

• VRR support (smoothed or uncapped)
• New 40fps ‘Balanced’ and ‘Ray Tracing Balanced’ graphics mode
• Fall damage toggle
• Auto-loot enemies toggle
• Additional loadout slot
• More controller customisation
• Option to display a visual indicator when being led by gold birds, foxes, and the wolf

Many first-party PlayStation titles have offered similarly significant 1.1 updates in the months following their initial release. Even so, it is welcome to see Ghost of Yotei continuing this trend while also offering even more than initially promised.
