Saros PS5 update 1.004 adds UI, accessibility and balance fixes

Housemarque has released update 1.004.000 for Saros on PlayStation 5. The patch is available now and requires about 1.3 GB of storage to download and install. The developer published detailed patch notes listing changes across multiple systems. The update focuses on user interface and accessibility, gameplay balance, world and level design, technical performance, audio, and cinematics.

UI and accessibility changes include new color categories and in-game preview images so players can view palettes before applying them, settings for the HUD Power Indicator, and color matching for the Armor Integrity Gauge Corruption.

The patch also corrects visibility problems affecting ammo and weapon charge bars, boss invulnerability indicators, and the Second Chance mechanic when Carcosan Modifiers are active. Gameplay adjustments in the update modify bullet bounce accuracy, reduce the amount of Power gained from the Power Generator weapon trait, and add damage scaling to the Powered Dash artefact while updating that effect’s visuals.

Level design fixes address collision and geometry issues across several biomes where clipping and blocked paths could disrupt movement. Technical work in the build includes general optimizations and an adjustment to reflection quality. The update also includes minor audio bug fixes. Cinematic changes cover improvements to the prologue and the Eclipse Device sequences and optimizations to depth of field.

Housemarque’s patch notes present the list of fixes and changes under separate categories for UI/Accessibility, Gameplay & Balance, World & Level Design, Technical & Performance, Audio, and Cinematics. The update is listed as version 1.004.000 and is available now on PlayStation 5.
