It has been a little over a week since Scott Pilgrim EX arrived on Switch 1 and 2, and today, Tribute Games has released its first proper update to tackle some of the post-launch issues.

The ‘Update 1’ patch — as it is titled on Steam — targets all sorts of progression blockers, softlocks and online multiplayer issues that have been reported since the game’s release. The following Switch-specific fixes were also applied to the Nintendo versions:

• Dollar sign not showing properly when picking up money on Nintendo & PlayStation consoles
• Various missing SFX during dialogues
• Rebind inputs not saving if quitting before going back to the main menu1
• Issue preventing users to create a lobby after resuming the game from a suspend
• Unresponsive controllers if the game was launched with the touch screen in table-top mode and no controllers connected

Aside from those Switch-specific issues, the update has fixed many issues besides. The full patch notes were shared on Steam, and we have gathered them together for you to check out below:
