Other costume-related bugs, including blurry webbing on the Classic Suit and glowing lights around the mask of the Hellfire Gala Suit, have also been addressed.

Accessibility Enhancements
Accessibility has also been a key focus of this update, with Insomniac addressing several concerns.
One issue where accessibility presets would reset any additional customisations upon death, restart, or reloading a checkpoint has been fixed.
Problems with the screen reader functionality have been resolved, ensuring that it properly reads certain in-game text, including confirmation windows, the initial shortcut menu on setup, and more.
