Assassins Creed Shadows players will spend dozens of hours traversing the sprawling provinces of central Japan. now theyll be able to turn off their brain during those long treks through the rolling hills of the countryside, thanks to a feature introduced — or should we say, reintroduced to the franchise — in the first proper patch for the game.

released Tuesday morning on all platforms, the version 1.0.2 update for Assassins Creed Shadows tWeaks the “pathfinder” feature for the player characters mount. Now, the horse can automatically follow roads as it uses the games turn-by-turn directions to ferry Naoe or Yasuke to their next waypoint. this feature existed in previous Assassins Creed games, including Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, so its omission at Shadows launch was strange. The other piece of the pathfinder feature — the GPS line that it draws on roads — will no longer appear when youre taking screenshots in the games stunning photo mode, thanks to the patch. And in addition to introducing the auto-follow feature, the update increases horse speeds in cities to a canter (although you still cant gallop down streets).

Another quality-of-life improvement in Tuesdays patch that Assassins Creed Shadows players are sure to appreciate is the ability to sell or dismantle loot in batches. Now you can select multiple items in the shop/Forge screen before getting rid of it all in one go. Stepping out of the Forge, youll notice that Ubisoft Québec has removed the frame rate cap in the Hideout, allowing the game to run above 30 frames per second there. And continuing along the graphics front, the patch adds support for PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, Sonys image upscaling technique, for people playing on a PlayStation 5 Pro.

Other key elements of the patch include the ability to reset individual Mastery nodes in Naoes and Yasukes skill trees. (The game already allowed you to respec an entire tree, such as Tools or Shinobi, but now you can do it on a node-by-node basis.) Speaking of the menus, theres a new shortcut, too: You can now hold the Options/Menu Button to go straight to the games elegantly designed objective board.

Notably, the v1.0.2 update does not patch out the arguably overpowered legendary tanto known as the Igan Sunset or adjust its god-tier perk, which — in conjunction with a few unlocked skills — allows Naoe to “freely ping-pong between enemies until theyre dead,” according to our own Tyler Colp.

Correction (April 9): A previous version of This article suggested that Assassins Creed Shadows v1.0.2 patch had made auto-follow the default mode for the pathfinder feature on horseback.
