When Friday the 13th: The Game released in May, it had a number of issues at launch. The game's community has attempted to be understanding, but with news of the developer, IllFonic, repurposing some of their staff to work on a new game, the community rallied for the devs to focus on the state of the game – especially on the Xbox One.

IllFonic has released a new update for the Xbox One version of Friday the 13th: The Game and it promises to bring a number of fixes. IllFonic released a statement on the update, detailing that the patch should have the Xbox One version of game functioning on the same level as it does on other platforms.

"The team has significantly reduced crash instances and performed a major sweep on bugs that have been persistent with the Xbox version. Our sincere apologies for the time that this has taken to arrive, but we will be monitoring the patch and are already working on additional fixes. We believe this patch will greatly increase playability and bring the game in line with other platforms."

The patch notes themselves, found on the following page, detail a number of fixes. One of the fixes addresses the memory issues that plagued the Xbox One and didn't allow the previous update to release on the console. On top of that, crashes, matchmaking, balances, gameplay issues, and more have been addressed with the patch.

Matchmaking should take less time, glitches and exploits should be fixed, infinite stamina should be resolved, Jason should have his abilities rebalances, and game save issues should be resolved with the patch.

You can check out the patch notes on the following page, but playing the game for yourself will probably be the best test.
