Warzone Pacific Season 1 Reloaded update: Console performance

The headlining inclusion this time around is console-specific upgrades. While PC players have to deal with their fair share of issues, those on Xbox and PlayStation have had it worse.

Regular crashes, graphical bugs, and overall performance issues have impacted Warzone since the Season 1 update. The mid-season patch looks to start addressing “a number” of these issues on console.

“These fixes are the first in a series and will not address all concerns at once,” the devs said on Twitter. 

Warzone Pacific Season 1 Reloaded update: Bug fixes

Outside of the console-specific changes, the Season 1 Reloaded patch introduced over a dozen bug fixes as well.

Many issues have been hindering the battle royale experience of late. Everything from invisible skins and “pay-to-win” exploits have been noted on the official Warzone Trello board.

Invisible skins have been running rampant in Warzone since the Season 1 patch.

However, this update focused on visual bugs in the menus, store bundle issues, and a handful of map exploits instead.
