Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 Receives Update Based off Player Feedback

Back on April 25, CI Games released Sniper Ghost Warrior 3; unfortunately, the game was met with negative reception across the board, with DualShockers even giving it a low score of 3.5 in our review. CI Games has taken the feedback they have received from those reviews and all of the Sniper Ghost Warrior 3's players and has worked on an update for the game that fixes bugs and adjusts some features that players were complaining about.

Alongside reducing load times, some of the other things this patch fixes are game freezes, problems discovering and saving completed Points of Interest, save file corruption, and crashes during Party Crasher mission. You can check out the full list of patch notes for all three versions of the game below, straight from the official Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 blog:
