Ghost of Yotei developer Sucker Punch has released a big new update for Legends, complete with useful changes to the Raid and other gameplay. Ghost of Yotei Legends update 1.601 is available to download and install for the PlayStation 5 exclusive. As you can see from the update 1.601 patch notes below, the update adds Hell Mode boss battle difficulty for the Raid. Likewise, there are new class cosmetics for defeating Hell Mode bosses – assuming you can, of course. Perhaps best of all, however, is the addition of matchmaking for Raid missions, which is good news if you’ve been struggling to partner up on the PlayStation game.

• Hell Mode boss battle difficulty for the Raid is now live.

• Add new class cosmetics for defeating Hell Mode bosses.

• Enable matchmaking for Raid missions.

• Add Skip straight to the Raid Boss options for Dragon and Saito.
