Silent Hill: Downpour PlayStation 3 patch deployed
Silent Hill: Downpour was patched for Xbox 360 in late October, but the PlayStation 3 version has only just arrived. Konami advises the patch should be available now, or at latest when your local PlayStation Store updates. Although full patch notes have not been provided, the update appears to have the same features as the Xbox 360 version, namely improved frame rate; “fixed” save game system; bug squashing in the Homeless side quest; and general “performance enhancements” and bug fixes. Silent Hill: Downpour released for both consoles in March.
