As promised last week sometime, Splash Damage has just deployed a Brink update for PC, with the PS3 and Xbox patches moving through certification as I type these very words. It’s real life, happening in real time.
“We’ve been hard at work investigating the lag issues some players of the Xbox 360 version of Brink have reported,” writes the dev over on the Bethblog.
“We’ve now completed modifications to improve network performance and will be rolling these out in a title update for the game.
“With PSN back online, we’re able to resume multiplayer testing on the PlayStation 3. We’re preparing to bring the changes in the upcoming Xbox 360 title update to the PlayStation 3 version of Brink quickly and we expect to have it out next week. Stay tuned!”
