In case you missed it, Sol Cresta actually got a release on Switch earlier this year (after starting out life as an April Fool's joke). Since then, PlatinumGames has been issuing updates for this new shoot 'em up, and we're now up to the next major one (Version 1.0.4).

The Japanese publisher and developer has shared the full patch note details on its official website, with the promise the team will "continue to make improvements and further updates" in the future. This latest update makes some changes and adjustments, and also fixes a couple of issues:

Sol Cresta - Version 1.0.4 (July 1st, 2022):

An update for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Steam versions of SOL CRESTA was released on July 1st, 2022.

The version number for each platform is as follows.

Steam: Ver. 1.0.2

*We will continue to make improvements with further updates.
