Meanwhile, in a separate thread on Reddit, Crystal Dynamics lists all the known issues and workarounds for Marvel’s Avengers, which may help players who are having problems with the game.

According to the patch notes, the focus for the update was resolving bugs, but upcoming near-term patches include quality-of-life adjustments and features driven by player feedback.

Digital Trends has reached out to Crystal Dynamics for more details on the developer’s near-term focus for Marvel’s Avengers patches, and we will update this article as soon as we hear back.

Marvel’s Avengers beta draws millions

Marvel’s Avengers‘ rocky start follows a beta test that drew more than 6 million players, which helped publisher Square Enix collect data for planned fixes to the game. The players spent a total of more than 27 million hours on the beta, with more than 300 million enemies defeated and 200 million Hulk smashes, among other interesting statistics.

With Crystal Dynamics’ diligence in rooting out and resolving issues, players should expect even more patches to improve the overall Marvel’s Avengers experience.

PC gaming has spent the past few years leaning heavily on AI to squeeze better graphics and higher frame rates out of hardware. Now, Arm wants to bring a similar idea to the phones in our pockets.
