As a big Digimon fan, I was excited to see that Bandai Namco just released the day one patch notes for Digimon Story: Time Stranger, which is coming out later this week! It’s great they’re being so transparent before launch.
This update allows players to transfer save data from the demo version, improves the tutorial with clearer text and helpful images, and sets the default frame rate to 60fps for those playing on Steam. It also includes several other improvements and fixes.
You can get the Digimon Story: Time Stranger demo on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. The demo already includes some of the latest patches. Check out Josh’s thoughts on the Digivolution system and his preview of the PC settings and more.
Digimon Story: Time Stranger will be available starting October 3rd on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam).
