Hi all,

Once again, thank you for your patience during the launch of Life is Strange: True Colors, with a special thanks from the team for your continued help in identifying the issues some of you have faced.    

Whilst we're happy to see that some of you have had your issues resolved and are now busy playing as intended, we have a second update for you regarding the issues some of you are still experiencing, and how we are aiming to tackle them moving forward.

· PlayStation: Unable to download Alex Outfit Pack or Life is Strange Hero Outfit Pack

· PC: Outfit pack outfits cause crashes in DX12 with RTX turned on.

· PC Visual Graphics Issues

Once again, these aren't the only issues we are looking into, just what we are confident to share with you today within an early progress roadmap for transparency. We’ll be back with another update within the next few days to keep you apprised of progress and confirm these patch dates and fixes.

We had hoped you would have a flawless first time experience with Life is Strange: True Colors, and for those of you who wish these fixes were coming sooner, we completely understand. Please know that all issues must be investigated, re-produced, and understood before fixes can be worked on (this is exactly why your reporting, information and feedback has been so helpful!)

Once issues are fixed, they still need to be tested by our QA teams to make sure they aren’t creating any unexpected new issues, then approved by the platforms, before finally bringing them to you, which is why everything unfortunately won’t be fixed in a matter of days.

Rest assured, we are working hard to improve your experience.
