Square Enix has released a new update for Forspoken along with patch notes detailing the changes, though players may be a little disappointed with what's on offer when it comes to Update 1.04.

As a result, Forspoken was review bombed on Metacritic, with an abysmal 1.7/10 user score next to the 63 Metascore from critics.
