Square Enix and Eidos-Montreal’s latest game, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, saw a successful launch last month. It certainly, earned a much better reception than the slowly recovering Marvel’s Avengers did last year.
Earlier today, developer released a major patch for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Labeled as versions 1.05, 1.6, and 2.6 on PlayStation, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, respectively, it brings improved graphics and performance along with a variety of bug fixes.
Eidos-Montreal announced today’s patch on the Guardians of the Galaxy Twitter account and uploaded the complete notes to Reddit. The most significant upgrades include improved performance on PlayStation 4 and an uncapped framerate option on Xbox Series S. Additionally, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy now supports ray tracing on the PS5 and Series X. Players can enable ray tracing and uncapped framerate modes from the Graphics menu in-game. These upgrades guarantee the game will now look its best on the new generation of consoles. Players will also experience improvements to stability, objective markers, and world boundaries on all platforms.
The other big upgrade on all platforms is a new Save Rollback feature. Eidos-Montreal explains the system in detail in a separate post on the Guardians of the Galaxy game’s subreddit. It allows players to reset their Story, Perks, and Ability progress to the beginning of the Chapter instead of the last checkpoint. Unfortunately, the process is a little roundabout, requiring the player to exit to the main menu. From there, they’ll need to select the Chapter from Guardians of The Galaxy’s Replay Chapter menu. Then, they need to go to the in-game menu and hold down the following buttons:
- PlayStation: the L1, L2, and Triangle Face Button
- Xbox: the Left Button, Left Trigger, and Y Face Button
- Switch: the L, ZL, and X Face Button
Players will then be able to save their game and pick a new save slot. This will be the new default save file upon returning to the main menu and selecting Continue. While a somewhat elaborate process, it allows players to restart a chapter without losing Item, Compendium, or Achievement/Trophy progress in Guardians of the Galaxy.
In addition to the above features, patches 1.05, 1.6, and 2.6 also come with an extensive list of bug fixes. Major fixes include removing a bug that prevented some of Guardians of the Galaxy’s Achievements and Compendium entries from unlocking. Developers also repaired multiple glitches with the game’s menus and settings, along with a host of other issues.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
