If you were wondering when Robomodo would be patching Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 well you no longer need to. Available now on both Xbox One and PS4 is a brand new, huge patch coming in at 7.8GB that also provides a few new interesting additions.
In addition to fixing the various bugs that plagued its launch, the patch also provides a new campaign focused on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Wild West! That’s right, sewer surfing baby!. Thanks to Gamescabin, we have the full list of updates for you below along with UI tweeks as well.
It’s a little too early to tell exactly how much, but from what we’re gathering it seems majority if not all of the bugs have been squashed with this new update. Granted the patch size is mainly due to the new content, but I guess “if it’s free it’s for me” and it’s a nice “I’m sorry” message from the studio for the launch.
What do you think of the fixes? Let us know.
