Dragon’s Dogma 2 Title Update 4.1 is now available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam, addressing a range of known issues. The update fixes bugs affecting several vocations, improves pawn behaviour, and resolves problems with quests, NPCs, enemies and the user interface. It also adjusts the facial expressions of the Arisen and pawns during certain actions.
Several other fixes address quest progression, equipment management, control settings and unusual in-game behaviour. The Nintendo Switch 2 version is still awaiting the update, which Capcom says is in development and will be released at a later date.
