Nintendo has released its first patch for Metroid Dread.

The patch brings the game up to Version 1.0.1, and fixes the previously discovered bug that would cause the game to crash if certain conditions were met. It also notes that “several other issues” were fixed to “improve the overall gameplay experience”.

You can check out the patchnotes below:

Ver. 1.0.1 (Released October 20, 2021)

General Fixes

• Fixed an issue where, if a map marker is placed on a specific door on the map screen (the door destroyed with the beam obtained at the end of the game), destroying that door at the end of the game would cause the game to forcefully quit with the message “The software was closed because an error occurred”.
• Fixed several other issues to improve overall gameplay experience.
