The update 1.050 has been released for Dragon’s Dogma 2 and in addition to minor quality-of-life improvements, there is finally the feature that should be a given and many players have long awaited.
On March 29, 2024, title update 1.050 was released for Dragon’s Dogma 2. The biggest feature of this update is the long-awaited ability to finally start a new game when another save file is present. Previously, this was not possible, as manual and automatic saves occupied only one slot.
Many players have wished for the ability to create multiple save slots since the release, as some quests and events in the world can be frustrating for many players. The dangerous dragon plague would also be less threatening to vassals with multiple save files.
With the update, new configuration options are also added.
In a dedicated blog post from Dragon’s Dogma 2, the new options are presented.
Changes for the PS5 and Steam Versions
- On PS5 and Steam, you can now start a new game
- The number of
Art of Metamorphosis

Changes for the PS5 Version
- Motion Blur can now be turned on and off

However, the blog post clarifies regarding the first two points that the overall frame rate cannot be improved and that future updates aim to address these issues.
Change for the Steam Version

- Issues with model display under certain settings have been fixed
