Fez Patch Finally Coming To XBL
Phil Fish has confirmed that Fez will finally be getting the long awaited patch on Xbox Live Arcade. This news came from Twitter when he stated “Good news everyone: We’re going to patch FEZ on XBLA!â€. The patch will fix a glitch where some users were getting corrupted save files.
Last month, Fish said that Polytron wouldn’t be bringing Fez 2 over to the Xbox One or the Xbox 360. This was due to Microsoft not permitting indie developers to self-publish on Xbox Live. The costs also had a major factor to play, as with each update came a cost, which would have cost Polytron “a ton of money”. However, recently Microsoft has stopped charging developers to update and patch their games on the Xbox Live. This may continue into the Xbox One era, but it’s uncertain at the moment.
