Craftopia Xbox Hotfix Update

Craftopia on Xbox has received a hotfix update to improve the functionality of the game. In my review previously I spoke about how I could not get past the first island on my Xbox One S because every time the island would try to load in it would crash.

This is great news for those Xbox One users that were having constant crashing issues.

PocketPair just announced this morning 9/22/2021 that a new update is available. The size of the update was 2.7 GB and here are the details of what was included.

Thank you for playing Craftopia on Xbox! We've released the hotfix patch for Craftopia on Xbox today at 8:00 p.m. JST on Sep. 22nd.

Please note that this patch is only for the Xbox version of Craftopia, and the bugs below are only occurring in the Xbox version.

Here is the list of changes:
• The bug that the game crashed when you interacted with Altar of Civilization has been fixed;
• Some setting options that affected the game crashing bugs have been temporarily removed;

I downloaded the update and played it for about 10 minutes and can see a big difference. I confirmed that the crashing when transporting between islands is now fixed. I have also noticed that a lot of the graphics options are gone now and everything seems to be stripped back a little. I didn’t get a chance to play much so I am not certain about all the changes that happened.

This is really good news for those that have been wanting to play on consoles. And even though I was able to stream Craftopia for Game Pass in the browser and play it I would much rather play it on my console. I was noticing when my internet was strained it made the game lag a little.

I will try and play a longer session tonight and report back if I am seeing any more major issues after the patch or if the patch removed some features that make the game less enjoyable.
