Konami has officially sent out word on the Silent Hill Downpour patch that went live on Tuesday. The Xbox 360 patch received some patch notes as well as when to expect it on PS3.
The patch (already available on Xbox in both North America and Europe), will improve the framerate, fix save game system, fix bugs in the “Homeless” side mission, as well as several unspecific fixes.
The Playstation 3 version of the patch is said to be in development and arrive “in the coming weeks”. No word on how soon that is, but hopefully by Halloween, so you all can enjoy a much smoother Downpour.
Lastly, Konami has announced that Downpour will be sold digitally as a Games On Demand title on Xbox Live for $39.99. Expect that to arrive on October 30th.
