Lost Soul Aside, the PS5 (previously PS4) action game that’s been in development for what feels like a lifetime, will receive what sounds like a significant day one patch.
As revealed on social media by the title’s official accounts, the update, which will be available to download on the 29th August, features “comprehensive performance optimisations and stability improvements”.
In other words, we’re fully expecting Lost Soul Aside to be a bit of a mess without this patch. In turn, that probably means a distinct lack of reviews on the game’s release; publishers will usually hold back review code if their game has clear technical issues.
The day one update also covers “visually enhanced effects”, “overall audio refinements”, and “final polishing and gameplay upgrades”.
Naturally, developer UltiZero “strongly recommends” downloading and installing this patch before playing.
Dear Players,
The world of Lost Soul Aside opens in just 3 days! We truly appreciate your patience and excitement throughout this long wait—Kaser and Arena are eager to embark on this adventure alongside you.
To deliver the most refined experience possible, a Day 1 Update Patch…

Again, it’s no secret that Lost Soul Aside has endured a very rocky development cycle — but it’s still a real shame that the team wasn’t able to smooth everything out ahead of going gold. Fingers crossed that this important update is the only one that the game needs to run properly.
