Avalanche has released a new major update for Just Cause 4. According to the team, the Spring Update improves world lighting, with global lighting presets being tuned and materials modified to provide better visibility to players and make the world look more vibrant.
The game’s underwhelming lighting system was one of the things we criticized in our PC Performance Analysis, so it’s good witnessing Avalanche enhancing and improving it.
Furthermore, this new patch adds destructible Black Hand Statues and Metal Train Bridges, adds new Mobile Chaos Objects and improves Black Hand combat.
As always, Steam will download this patch the next time you launch its client and you can find its complete changelog below.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

What did he mean by “Download for free” ? Is this singleplayer game F2P now??
Yeah just market vomit for the update when companies know full well that their bare-bones games getting anything free is just missing content and visual/debug improvements to begin with; though the day one content here looked a bit better than something like a GaaS scam. My understanding is that the story and side questing was bad but the “blow stuff up” part is fun. Problem with that is it does indeed make it a one-trick-pony like some F2P trash.
