Rebellion has rolled out a patch for Sniper Elite: Resistance, tackling performance hiccups and sprucing up visual effects. Although not every issue has been ironed out, the developers are committed to ongoing support and invite players to dive into the game.
On January 30, 2025, Sniper Elite: Resistance, the latest offering from Rebellion Development, hit PCs, PlayStations, and Xbox consoles. This new chapter in the tactical shooter saga thrusts players into WWII-era France to take out key targets. The game received warm praise for its innovative Propaganda mode, which many players found especially compelling. Acknowledging the importance of maintaining a seamless experience, Rebellion has deployed a patch to boost game performance.
The patch is available across all platforms and addresses visual glitches in menu screens, along with broad enhancements in game performance.
