A Dragon’s Dogma 2 update released in late March added a frame rate cap option on consoles and improved DLSS quality, among other features.
11 days after its release last month, Capcom claimed that Dragon’s Dogma 2 sales had surpassed 2.5 million units.
VGC’s Dragon’s Dogma 2 review called it “one of the best RPGs of the last decade”.
“Dragon’s Dogma 2 is so dense that you can literally get to the end of the game, fulfil the majority of the main quest objectives, and then realise there’s a whole faction, town, or multi-part mission you’ve missed,” we wrote. “Dragon’s Dogma 2 is begging you to explore.”
