Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will have a day one patch

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will have a day one patch that will address an issue with its game replay system.

Game Director Masahiro Sakurai made the confirmation with Famitsu (via ComicBook), saying the update is necessary only for those who’ve bought a physical version of the game. The patch has already been incorporated into the digital version’s download.

Sakurai said the patch is necessary to stop replays from “going off-track.” While the patch’s size wasn’t detailed, it isn’t likely to be all that large, going off Sakurai’s explanation of it.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate heads to Nintendo Switch on 7 December.

Steve Wright

Steve is the founder of Stevivor, which itself is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’ -- that made more sense back in 2001 when Steve first arrived in the country and Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.

Steve has recently gathered a career's worth of writing on swright.au, his personal portfolio.
