The action RPG offers unique gameplay revolving around Freya’s magical abilities that allow the player to use a variety of skills for both combat and level traversal as she goes through her journey to find a way back home from the fantasy world of Athia. Forspoken recently released a playable demo for PS5 that allowed fans to give their feedback. In response to the feedback, Luminous Production detailed plans to address concerns of fans and added a list of changes coming to the full game. The list of changes included: increased text size, button mapping options, and a fix for HDR issues that some players experienced during their time with the demo.

Luminous Production was applauded for its response to consumer feedback on the playable demo of Forspoken. Earlier today, the director of Forspoken followed up with that promise and stated that the team would also be adding updates to the playable demo on PS5 as well. In a post to Twitter, Takeshi Aramaki shared that the demo would receive an update that included: buttom mapping options, a fix to lock on issues, text size adjustments, and a general patch to various technical issues.
Fans of the Forspoken demo were excited to see the dedication the developer has to supporting the game and addressing any issues the game has less than a week from release. There were also some more skeptical gamers that replied to the post with concerns that Forspoken receiving updates so late reflect that the game is not ready for full release.
Skepticism aside, the updated features added to the demo were a direct response to consumer feedback from PS5 players. The announcement follows the beautiful cinematic trailer for Forspoken that Square Enix recently released as well, so it seems like Square Enix and Luminous Production are investing a lot into making this game a success.
Forspoken officially releases on January 24 for both PC and PS5.
