The BROK the Investigator update adds local co-op patch notes

BROK the investigator received its latest update today, highlighted by support for local co-ops.

Up to four players can experience the game together. There are a number of other elements here too, such as a texture management overhaul that can improve RAM usage and boot time.

Here is the full overview:

BROK the Investigator local co-op update patch notes.

• BIG CO-OP UPDATE!

    • It is now also possible to play as these 6 characters in single player quick battles.
• Change under the hood: MAJOR overhaul to texture management, only loading what is necessary for a room instead of leaving everything in RAM.
  • => Should improve RAM usage, especially on low RAM systems like Switch.
