Content Warning's first bug fix patch adds reporter mic, party poppers, more

Content Warning – the viral co-op horror hit from the team behind Totally Accurate Battle Simulator – has just received its first patch. And alongside a first batch of bug fixes, it brings a bunch of new toys to play with in the depths, including party poppers and a reporter mic.

Content Warning, if you missed all the fuss earlier this week, sees teams of up to four players descending into lightless depths to capture unspeakable horrors on camera. Assuming they make it out alive, the footage can them to uploaded to SpöökTube and – one viewing party later – hopefully become a viral sensation. It’s a silly/scary good time, and a combination of heavy streamer attention, plus the fact it was free to download and keep for a limited time, has seen it surge up the Steam charts with over 6.2m players.

That initial success was accompanied by some early teething troubles which developer Landfall Games has been looking into, but while those investigations continue, it’s released a first patch to address an initial round of issues. With the update applied, players can expect decreased hard drive usage for recordings, a new inverted mouse setting, fixes for duplicated discs when picking up at the same time, plus adjustments to emote prices.
