Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope launched last Friday to significant positive reception, garnering a solid score of 8/10 in our own review.
A day one patch was made available for the title, as is seemingly the norm these days, but its contents are so exhaustive, it’s probably worth while checking it out for all the lowdown. Ubisoft itself states that the update is not mandatory, but highly recommended.
So without further ado, here are the full patch notes:
