Bodies of water appear clear, showcasing their depth, while the density and definition of environmental features like foliage will be improved across all next-gen consoles. And the PS5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S will all boast 90% faster load times.
This update also includes new achievements and trophies for the game that encompass in-game feats from across all the content added to the game since launch.
