Capcom Surveys Dragon’s Dogma 2 Players on Potential DLC

Capcom has yet to announce DLC plans for Dragon’s Dogma 2, which only launched last week. But its big launch on Steam, where it set a concurrent players record for a single-player Capcom game on Valve’s platform, suggests more is to come. Concurrent player numbers for Dragon’s Dogma 2 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S are unavailable.

This week, Capcom revealed planned updates for Dragon’s Dogma 2, including the addition of the option to start a new game when save data already exists. Inexplicably, Dragon’s Dogma 2 does not include this option, although modders have already brute forced it into the PC version. Elsewhere, Capcom said it will boost the number of Art of Metamorphosis items available at Pawn Guilds to 99. Art of Metamorphosis lets you edit your character, and is one of many day-one microtransactions Capcom is currently selling for real-world money.

Meanwhile, Dragon’s Dogma 2 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S will get various graphics and performance options, including a toggle for motion blur and ray tracing. Crucially, Capcom will add the option to switch frame-rate to either variable or max 30fps. Players have criticized Dragon’s Dogma 2’s frame-rate, which Capcom has said is linked to stress put on CPUs by a large number of NPCs. It’s worth noting that Capcom said the motion blur and ray tracing toggle will not improve the game’s frame-rate significantly, but meaningful improvements are coming further down the line.
