What you need to know
- Minecraft Dungeons is the newest game from Mojang Studios, the creators of Minecraft.
- It's a third-person dungeon crawling Diablo-them-up, and it's been a ton of fun, especially with friends.
- However, it's not been free of issues and instability problems, which Mojang Studios is working to fix.
- A new patch being released comes with a swath of fixes for every platform Minecraft Dungeons is available on.
It took a little longer than we expected, but we're now getting a proper patch update for Minecraft Dungeons that fixes a whole laundry list of issues players were having with stability and general gameplay. The changelog is impressive enough on all platforms, for a patch at least, but each platform is also getting additional fixes specific to that console. The update is out now for Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4, but it'll be coming to Xbox One and Windows as well shortly.
We'll update this article when we also receive the update on Xbox One and Windows 10. You can also check out the Minecraft Dungeons help page for more information on patches when they come out. This seems to be a pretty solid patch, and should make the game feel a lot more stable for lots of players.
