Bloodstained is a Castlevania successor developed by Koji Igarashi, the former producer of the Castlevania series. It was released on June 18 for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. One of the main complaints against the Nintendo Switch port was that it was unoptimized and had terrible load times compared to the other platforms.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night developer ArtPlay has now shared an update on their Kickstarter page confirming changes that they are planning to implement in the future. First up, they have announced a new Bloodstained update 1.04 for PS4 and 1.006 for Xbox One.
PS4 patch will implement a balance update seen here, save data and treasure chest fix, and some localization improvements. Xbox One will get Overlord achievement fix, HDR Fix, Localization improvements, and XB1-specific bug fixes in addition to the balance update.
