Bethesda and Arkane Studios’ Prey is currently enjoying its time in the limelight. Even though the game was definitely not bug-free at the time of launch, its creators have been working on a series of patches that aim to improve the title’s overall gaming experience. We’re at patch 1.04 right now, which focuses on various field of view issues. Just in case you’re not aware, you can modify the game’s FOV by manually editing its main config file. Still, this could cause some unpleasant experiences, particularly when it comes to several cut-scenes that would not play properly. Patch 1.04 addresses these issues, and it also fixes some Aim Assist problems, as well as some problems with the control keys.
Where can I get this patch from?
As with most patches these days, this one will download itself automatically via Steam. As for the complete changelog, you can view it below.
