Friday The 13th: The Game PS4 Patch 1.04 Now Live

As much as we’re loving Friday The 13th: The Game, it needs works. And lots of it. Since launch, developer IllFonic has been keeping fans up to date with inbound fixes. Aside from removing the usual bugs and glitches, they are looking to improve matchmaking times and iron out some of the game’s other issues.

Those who own the game on PlayStation 4 can finally grab update 1.04. It’s a 404mb file you’ll need to download and instal before you boot up the latest version of Friday The 13th.

Rather unhelpfully, the game doesn’t present players with a list of changes, even when looking at the “Update History” tab via the PS4 home menu.

That said, having fire up the game for a quick session, we were able to jump straight into a game after just a few seconds. Sure beats the 10-20 minute waiting times we’ve previously encountered.

A similar patch was released last week on Xbox One. It’s likely this is same patch released today on PS4. Here’s what it does:

Matchmaking – Due to a high number of users we are switching to a more robust matchmaking / system that will support a high number of players. We have made some changes to our current matchmaking system that should help reduce matchmaking times. We are currently working with Microsoft and moving over to a new system that will help reduce matchmaking times to more than acceptable times. We will have more information on that soon.
