Dragon's Dogma 2 released a few days ago and while the gameplay and general content of the game have been praised by many, the lack of optimization has created a ton of performance issues, both on PC and consoles. Higher-end rigs can barely keep a stable frame rate over 60, while consoles are struggling to hover around the 30fps mark. After waiting for over 12 years for a sequel, many fans of the series have been disappointed in this lack of optimization, and tons of players have already refunded the game.
Capcom has finally broken the silence around this situation, with a recent post on X stating that the first major Dragon's Dogma 2 patch is coming soon, with some details on what kind of changes are being actively worked on. In this article, we are going to go over the full list of updates that we can expect in the upcoming patch for Dragon's Dogma 2!

One thing that is worth mentioning is that this patch is not going to improve the general frame rate and performance of the game, but they have noted that they are working on this for the future. A release date for this update was also not mentioned, but we hope that it will arrive in the next few weeks. Here is the full list of changes that are going to be coming soon to Dragon's Dogma 2:
Updates for All Platforms (Playstation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam)
- Adding the option to start a new game when save data already exists.
- Changing the number of ''Art of Metamorphosis'' items available at Pawn Guilds in the game to 99.
- Making the quest that allows players to acquire their own dwelling (where they can save and rest) a lot earlier in the game.
- Miscellaneous text display fixes.
- Miscellaneous bug fixes.
Updates for Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X|S
- Adding the option* to switch Motion Blur on/off in Options.
- Adding the option* to switch Ray Tracing on/off in Options.
- Adding the option to set Frame Rate to either Variable or or Max 30fps in Options.
*These options will not affect the frame rate significantly. Frame Rate improvements are planned for future updates.
Updates for Steam
- Improving quality when DLSS Super Resolution is enabled.
- Fixing an issue where models appeared low-quality under some specific settings.
That concludes the full list of changes that are coming to Dragon's Dogma 2. Hopefully, the option to remove Motion Blur and Ray Tracing is going to help some of the players who were having headaches and motion sickness by playing the game on consoles. Sadly, this patch is not going to fix the performance issues of the game, but at least we have some confirmation that Capcom is currently working on it.
