In addition to cheats and extra control settings, developers have improved flashlight usability, and it is now easier to unlock the words of power. Picking up resources from containers will no longer cause "weird" camera movements. Various bugs were also fixed, and the full list of changes can be found on the game’s website.

Another interesting feature of the free patch is the addition of support for enhancements on the PlayStation 5 Pro.
