Deathloop‘s PS5 exclusivity period came to an end today as the game made its debut on Xbox Series X|S and PC. At the same time, the Deathloop Goldenloop update was introduced on all platforms, bringing along a new extended ending and crossplay for PvP matchmaking amongst many other gameplay improvements and bug fixes.
Deathloop Goldenloop Update Patch Notes
While the Goldenloop update was announced last week, Bethesda failed to mention the game would be getting a new extended ending. The ending is part of the new secrets introduced with today’s update, as well as crossplay between PSN, Xbox, Steam, Epic, and the Microsoft Store. Players can choose whether to enable crossplay and can opt to continue to play with fellow PS5 players only. Other new features include a Fugue ability for Colt, the HALPS Prototype weapon, the Paint-Bomber enemy, more upgrades for Julianna’s Masquerade ability, and 2-in-1 trinkets. You can see all of the changes in the full patch notes below:
