If you’re a PlayStation or Steam user, there’s a new update for Lies of P that should make the game a bit easier to play. If you’re playing on Xbox, then the update is not live just yet. Neowiz has stated that the Xbox version of the update has “been submitted to Microsoft for testing and will be updated as soon as they are ready.”
Lies of P is the brand new Soulslike game that just released earlier this month for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. It’s also been a pretty big hit among players and critics, with its challenging and intense boss fights. In our review, we called it an amazing game with a punishing but rewarding loop all the same.
