Bloodborne Patch Reduces Load Times Later This Month

The next patch for Bloodborne is coming later this month and will address the game's long load times, Sony has announced.

In a post on the PlayStation Blog, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Studio's Masaaki Yamagiwa offered some details on update 1.03. This includes the fact that it "seeks to reduce certain load times in addition to performance optimizations." In other words, this may not offer improvements across the board, but considering how long Bloodborne's loading screens can last after your frequent deaths, any changes will be welcome. The company had previously said it was exploring the possibility of lessening load times.
