Prey will have a Day 1 patch, with fixes for everything from audio problems to saving/loading bugs and many more issues found in the game’s demo. This information comes from screenshots posted to Gadgets360.com.
While the patch has only been confirmed on PS4, it’s safe to assume a very similar patch will be coming to Xbox One and PC as well. The patch for PS4 is 1.3GB. Typically the file sizes for Xbox One and PC differ by a few MB, but still expect the patch to be over 1GB of data.
