Stray Souls update now available, correcting many of the early flaws. The launch for this survival horror game was horrific for the wrong reasons: it was riddled with glitches galore, and having seen other reviews and gameplays, it was across the board and not just on the PS5.

Stray Souls update

Jukai Studio has addressed this and released an ‘immense patch’ for PC and consoles, which is available now. Aside from fixing many of Stray Souls‘ technical issues, quality improvements have been made, too. 

Stray Souls update includes:

  • Re-recorded mocap for face idle animations for both Daniel and Martha. 
  • Adjusted the leg pull jumpscare camera, resolving the bug that caused it to occur before the breaker room cutscene, eliminating illogical confusion. 
  • Daniel no longer sways while aiming the gun. Improved the random grandmother peeking sequence and reduced their frequency to avoid repetition. 
  • Overhauled visuals, representation, and camera issues for the grandmother jumpscare. 
  • Fixed the inability to aim and shoot during the wendigo (first) boss fight. 
  • Adjusted the difficulty of the wendigo (first) boss fight. 
  • Adjusted flashlight brightness on some levels. 
  • Re-recorded exaggerated Martha bump animations and overhauled the entire system to make it feel more natural. 
  • Fixed Martha’s absence at the family gravestone before the cutscene starts. 
  • Added a hint to the note in the graveyard to make it easier to find (now more prominent in the environment). 
  • Updated audio levels for voices and conducted a sweep through all cutscenes to balance the audio levels. 
  • Adjusted audio levels for all enemies. 
  • Fixed subtitles font sizes. 
  • Fixed the crash when dying in the first wendigo boss fight. (Xbox One)
