Saros PS5 Update 1.004 Brings First Balance Tweaks and Fixes

The patch signals the start of Housemarque's post-launch tuning for the PS5 roguelike.

Overview

  • The PS5 patch, which arrived Tuesday, is version 1.004.000 and is available to download now.
  • Balance changes improve bullet-bounce accuracy, reduce Power from the Power Generator trait, and add damage scaling with new visuals to the Powered Dash artifact.
  • UI and accessibility add new colour categories with preview images, a HUD Power Indicator setting, and clearer readouts for ammo, weapon charge, boss invulnerability, and the Second Chance modifier.
  • Technical updates fix collision and geometry across multiple biomes and refine visuals with depth-of-field optimizations, adjusted reflections, and cleaner Prologue and Eclipse Device cutscenes.
  • Sony is giving away free Saros PSN avatars, and coverage points to Returnal’s long support as a sign that more patches are likely.
