Xbox Game Studios may have been mostly quiet in 2022, but it did have a least one resounding victory — the practically universally praised Pentiment. Hailing from Obsidian Entertainment and the mind of Josh Sawyer, Pentiment is a historical, point-and-click, narrative-driven RPG acclaimed for its stellar writing and incredible art style. Now, it’s just a little bit better.
On Thursday, the team behindPentimentbegan rolling out the1.2 patch updateto all players across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC. The update is a modest one, but will still be exciting both for current players and those who may have not played it, yet. Here’s what’s new.

I love Pentiment, and I’ll gladly (repeatedly) tell everyone around me to go and play it right now. Obsidian Entertainment actually released two astonishingly good games in 2022 (open-world survival gameGroundedbeing the other), but Pentiment is the game that still occupies my thoughts over six months after completing it. It’s one of thebest Xbox gamesof 2022. Now, it’s a tiny bit better. More importantly, it’s also more accessible to more people with expanded language support.
Pentiment is now available onXbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC. It’s also a permanent part ofXbox Game PassandXbox Cloud Gaming, for those who wish to play before they buy. Pentiment’s 1.2 patch update is now available to download for those who already have the game. If you don’t have the game… What are you waiting for? Go play it.
Pentiment
This is hands-down one of the best games of 2022, due to its stunningly rendered world and intoxicating story of humanity and history. Pentiment is a must-play Xbox title, and it’s now a little better.
