Just over two weeks after hitting shelves on February 4, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 from Warhorse Studios is already seeing its first update, dubbed Hotfix 1.1.2. Whether you’re diving into this medieval saga on an Xbox Series X|S, a PC (be it via Steam, the Epic Games Store, or GOG), or a PS5, this patch is ready for you to download.
The game’s developers have touted the update as targeting "key stability improvements, quest fixes, and platform-specific adjustments" to help refine your escapades in the Middle Ages. However, after taking a closer look, it seems like gamers might be left wanting more. The hotfix notes only list out 11 bug fixes, with just a couple addressing significant quest and performance issues that users have reported.
During my own journey through KCD2, I barely came across any bugs worth noting. Still, it seems other explorers in medieval Bohemia didn’t have the same luck. Reports are floating in from PS5 players about persistent audio stutters, while those on both PS5 and Xbox are encountering visually distracting bugs like flickering skies and erratic weather effects.
Sadly, none of these bothersome issues were zapped by this patch (check out below for the complete list of fixes). So, if you’re one of the unlucky ones grappling with these glitches, patience will be your ally until the next round of updates pops up.
Unsurprisingly, the community’s reaction to Hotfix 1.1.2 has been on the harsh side. Fans are airing their frustration on forums, disappointed that critical flaws have been left unresolved and seemingly unrecognized by the developers.
In one post on the r/KingdomCome subreddit, u/OK_ULTRA bemoaned, "How was the PS5 audio stutter NOT a top priority?" Another user, u/silus2123, shared a similar sentiment: "Wow, they really didn’t fix a lot in all this time. Disappointing." As you might expect, the comment section is filled with players hopeful for resolutions to game-breaking bugs, only to learn that they’re still out of luck.
Now, it’s certainly disappointing to see that this update falls short of addressing the more problematic glitches, but there’s hope on the horizon. This is just a hotfix after all, so Warhorse Studios could well have something meatier on the way. The developers have committed to ongoing support for the game, including cool new content like haircuts, horse races, a hardcore mode, and even three planned DLC expansions.
Despite these hiccups, make no mistake: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is still standing tall as one of 2025’s standout releases for Xbox and PC. It’s a strong contender for Game of the Year honors too. The game stormed into profitability just a mere day after its launch, selling a whopping 1 million copies in its debut and continuing to see robust user engagement on Steam, recently passing the 2 million sales mark.
For those eager to jump into the action, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is readily available across Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PS5. If you’re a fan of the RPG genre, it’s one not to miss—especially when you can snag it for just $47.39 on CDKeys.
Here’s a quick peek at what Hotfix 1.1.2 brought to the table, according to Warhorse Studios’ own site.
Fortuna
- Bozhena and Pavlena won’t report the player for crimes during the quest anymore.
The King’s Gambit
- Players won’t face the vanishing wine interactor anymore, ensuring they can continue serving drinks.
Combat
- Adjusted the crossbow aiming zoom for ultrawide monitors.
Platform-specific Fixes
- Epic Games Store users will no longer face issues with achievements not registering post an hour of play.
PROS
- Tackled the issue where rewards required a game restart to be issued.
Stability
- Resolved several crashes tied to locked doors, the dice mini-game, and cart interactions, among other things.
With any luck, these are the stepping stones toward a more stable and bug-free adventure in the times of yore.
