Update Ver. 2.01 Patch Notes
Capcom has released Update Ver. 2.01 for Dragon’s Dogma 2 across all platforms, introducing a range of new features, including the highly requested Casual Mode.
In addition to Casual Mode, the update brings vocation balance adjustments, performance improvements, and numerous bug fixes to enhance overall gameplay.

Key features include:

- Less chance for weight carried to become "Heavy" or "Very Heavy."
- Reduced Stamina consumption when dashing outside of battle.
- Loss gauge does not increase after selecting "Load from Last Save" following death.
- Pawns recover from dragonsplague without triggering a "devastating calamity," even at terminal stages.
