- We have made fixes for issues surrounding microphone handling and muting other players.
- We have addressed some graphical issues, for example when using SSSR while having TAA turned off.
- We have solved issues with the Dynamic Screen Resolution feature, especially when it was combined with HBAO+.
- With those fixes we recommend turning on Dynamic Screen Resolution again (at your desired minimum frame-rate) to ensure you are able to stick to your desired frame-rate no matter how hectic the game gets.

Recently, a leak seemed to confirm that the likes of Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, and the Winter Soldier would be some of the additional characters added to Marvel’s Avengers post-launch. So far the only confirmed post-launch characters are Hawkeye and Spider-Man, though Spider-Man will be a PlayStation exclusive character.
