From Software ‘Exploring’ Patch To Improve Bloodborne Load Times
If you’ve been playing Bloodborne since its midnight launch this morning, you may have noticed that load times aren’t quite ideal. Sony and developer From Software are aware and have addressed the matter.
In a statement provided to Game Informer, there’s hope that the load times might improve through an update. “The development team is currently exploring another patch for Bloodborne, seeking ways to improve load time duration, in addition to other performance optimizations and miscellaneous bug fixes,” the statement reads. “We will provide more information as soon as possible.”
Despite the less-than-ideal loading situation, we had some nice things to say about Bloodborne. You can check out our review, spoiler-free beginner’s guide, and some spoiler-filled tips to bone up on your bloodletting.
Our Take
While it’s not ideal for this to be addressed in a post-launch patch, it’s certainly better than not at all. For now, we can just assume that From Software wanted us to contemplate all the terrible ways we have (and will continue to) die horribly.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
