Dragon's Dogma 2 post-launch updates will add performance options on console, and the ability to overwrite your save with a new game
techradar.comSome much-needed quality-of-life updates are coming to Dragon's Dogma 2, including the simple ability to just start a new game.
The official Dragon's Dogma X account (formerly known as Twitter) posted a graphic featuring information about updates coming to the game «in the near future.» Most are intended for all platforms Dragon's Dogma 2 is available on, but some are targeted specifically at either console or PC versions of the game.

Other welcome changes include the ability to purchase more 'Art of Metamorphosis' (the book required to change your Arisen's or Main Pawn's appearance) from the relevant vendor, and making a quest that lets you buy a house available earlier than it currently is.

It's fair to say that many of these quality-of-life updates probably should've been in the game from day one. Aside from bug fixes that we'd expect the developer to be reactive to post-launch, what's listed here is all stuff that seems like an oversight.
Maybe there could've been some complications with letting players
