Surprise Patch for Dishonored 2 on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox
Dishonored 2, a critically acclaimed Bethesda title for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, has received an unexpected, albeit small, update across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. The patch, weighing in at a mere 230MB (though requiring a full 40GB re-download on Xbox), appears to focus on bug fixes and language file updates.
Developed by Arkane Lyon (currently working on Marvel's Blade), Dishonored 2 launched in late 2016, introducing Emily Kaldwin as a playable protagonist and memorable missions like "The Clockwork Mansion" and "A Crack in the Slab." While its sister studio, Arkane Austin (responsible for the original Dishonored, Prey, and Redfall), was unfortunately affected by the 2024 Xbox studio closures, Arkane Lyon remains active.
The update's precise contents remain unclear, disappointing some fans who hoped for a performance enhancement. Unlike other Arkane titles, Dishonored 2 remains locked at 30 FPS on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, despite the availability of 60 FPS modes for the original Dishonored and even the standalone expansion, Death of the Outsider. A potential 60 FPS patch for Dishonored 2's tenth anniversary in 2026 is possible, but unlikely to satisfy players' immediate desires.
With Arkane Austin's closure and Arkane Lyon's focus on Marvel's Blade, a third mainline Dishonored game remains a distant prospect, further highlighting the significance of this unexpected, albeit minor, update.
