Matchmaking

• (PC & PS4) Matchmaking will now put greater emphasis on trying to find closer matches. The algorithm has been changed to put a higher priority on finding matches closer to a player’s elo. This sometimes may result in slightly longer wait times between matches but will balance the overall match-making experience. We’ll be monitoring these results, so please let us know how the changes affect your progress.

PS4

• Improved client performance in-game and in store via multithreaded rendering. This enhanced rendering will create better performance in heavy areas, like large in-game battles, the store, and character select. This will help consoles be at a smooth, consistent 60 FPS.

Game Improvements

• KO effects will now rotate diagonally if a KO occurs in the corner of a map.

• Custom controller bindings will now be displayed with the controller graphic shown for default bindings, but with the custom controls updated in its place.

Game Loading

• Improved file loading time estimations.

• Loading screen will now show up earlier during
