    Prey 1.05 Update Finally Address PS4 Stuttering Issue

    The upcoming 1.05 patch for Prey will finally address the frame-tearing and stuttering issue that players have complained about since the game's release back in May. The 1.05 patch isn't just coming to the PS4, of course, so we have the full list of changes for you to feast your eyes upon.

    When exactly is this update coming? I'm not 100% sure. It merely says that the patch is "upcoming" so I would assume that means it will be here either this week or next.
