Sonic Frontiers update 1.10 has been released across PS5 and PS4 over the weekend, with patches for Xbox, Switch and PC also rolling out soon, targeting a few pesky bugs across the open world Sonic game.
In particular, the Japanese Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter account notes that version 1.10 “fixes an issue where the boss would sometimes disappear when retrying the boss battle on Chronos Island,” and that a problem with the map which was stuck “in an unsolved state even though the large gimmick on Chaos Island was cleared” have both been resolved.
We’re waiting for Western accounts to acknowledge the update and for more official details to be posted, but Update Crazy dug up some other fixes:
- Fixed random crashing bugs
- Addressed audio related issues
- Added UI improvements
- Added gameplay optimizations
- Added stability and performance improvements
- Other minor fixes
Sonic Frontiers has kickstarted a new era for Sonic, embracing a new open world design as Sonic is whisked away to the mysterious Starfall Islands, does battle with angular, robotic foes and solves environmental puzzles. Obvious allusions to games like The Legends of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and big JRPGs like Xenoblade Chronicles have been made, and the game has divided critics and fans over the new direction. Most troublesome have been performance dips on older platforms, though Sonic Team are hard at work to patch out bugs and potentially improve some gameplay elements as well.
Even with some flaws, Dom genuinely enjoyed it for our Sonic Frontiers review. He said, “With a revelatory open world to zip around and entertaining boss battles alongside the more traditional Cyber Space levels, Sonic Frontiers is the best that Sega’s hedgehog has been for years.”
