Death Stranding Update Finally Fixes Major Complaint

Death Stranding is one of our best games of 2019 nominees, but there's always room for improvement. One common criticism among many players, including Smash Bros director Masahiro Sakurai, has been the itty-bitty text size. Kojima Productions promised a fix incoming, and now that patch is available. You can read the full patch notes below.

The 1.07 patch includes general bug fixes, but the major update is to the text size. You can change it using the Options menu in the title screen. Firsthand accounts of the change, like the one below, seem positive on the revision.

The UI issue was one of the most consistent complaints, even among fans of the game. This patch was also announced to fix a griefing issue that allowed players to block progress with vehicles.

Death Stranding received a 9/10 in GameSpot's review, with particular praise for its practical and emotional payoffs for putting in the work to build infrastructure in the post-apocalyptic world.

GameSpot's Game of the Year will be announced on December 17. Until then, check out all of our Best of 2019 coverage.
