Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite Update Out Now, Here Are The Patch Notes

Capcom has rolled out a new patch for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. The update arrives ahead of the game's new DLC and makes a number of bug fixes and adjustments to certain characters.

The new patch is available today, October 16, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, though some of the changes it makes won't go live on Microsoft's console until "a later date." Most of these primarily address bugs and other issues, including one that would cause a connection error when "continuously performing success grabs in an online match." A number of character-specific bug fixes have also been made to Dante, Captain America, Dormammu, and Doctor Strange, which have gone live on all platforms.

You can find the patch notes, taken from the Capcom Unity blog, below. On October 17, Capcom is releasing Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite's first three DLC characters: Black Panther, Sigma, and Monster Hunter. Each will be available individually for $8, while those who've purchased the game's 2017 Character Pass will get them at no additional cost.

Also available tomorrow are 18 new premium DLC costumes for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. The outfits will be available individually for $4 or as part of three different themed bundles, each of which contains six costumes and costs $12. Capcom will also offer a $30 Premium Costume Pass that gets you all 18 premium outfits plus the remaining ones that will be released later this year.
