Patch 1.04.02 is an all-platforms hotfix released by Pearl Abyss on April 24, 2026 at 00:00 UTC. The patch is primarily a polish and documentation pass after the much larger Patch 1.04.00 content drop. Several of the entries in the official notes are clearly tagged as v1.04.00 features that did not surface in the original patch documentation, so 1.04.02 functions partly as an addendum to 1.04.00 itself.

The 1.04.02 notes call out the following as v1.04.00 changes that were under-documented at original release:
Greymane Contribution Shop - the Greymane Contribution Officer at Greymane Camp runs a contribution-point storefront. Currently stocks the Greymane Cloth Armor (chest, 6 contribution points) and Greymane Cloak (cloak, 7 contribution points), with full sell-back at the same price. The shop is reachable through the existing officer dialogue; no separate interaction is required.
Furniture preservation during camp expansion. Furniture placed in the player's house at Greymane Camp is no longer wiped when the camp is expanded. Items remain in place after construction finishes and can still be retrieved if the house layout is changed in Housing and Farming mode.
Greymane Camp relocation furniture transfer. When the camp relocates to Pailune, any furniture previously placed at the original house travels with the move and is re-stocked in the new residence. Players no longer have to re-place every piece manually after a relocation cutscene.
Character movement speed increase. Tagged in the 1.04.02 notes as a 1.04.00 change.
Fixes confirmed as introduced in 1.04.02 itself:
Minimum Font Size apply-immediately. The Minimum Font Size setting now takes effect without requiring a game restart.
Difficulty setting bug. Fixed an issue where the difficulty selector behaved inconsistently when starting a new game from an existing save.
Restored Guides UI elements that were inadvertently disabled in earlier 1.04 builds.
Vendor display fixes. Corrected fishing dock vendor and tanner shop interface display issues.
Pet renaming notifications. Pet name changes no longer trigger notifications on non-Pet animals.
Keyboard / Mouse HDR adjustment. Fixed key input issues that surfaced during HDR adjustment workflows.
Extra Rewards / Content Guide overlap. Resolved UI interaction priority conflicts between the Extra Rewards and Content Guide overlays.
Shop cutscene fadeout. Accelerated the shop cutscene fadeout timing so transitions feel less sluggish.
Horse gear dyeing - Horse gear can now be dyed through the standard Dye System, a new feature delivered with this hotfix.
Localization corrections across all supported languages.
PlayStation 5 Pro brightness fix. Fixed screen brightness instability when PSSR Sharpness was enabled.
Platform | Notable Effects |
|---|---|
PlayStation 5 / 5 Pro | PSSR Sharpness brightness fix landed; resolves a flicker that surfaced when HDR was enabled. Pet renaming notification suppression takes effect on cross-save reloads. |
Xbox Series X|S | Difficulty selector consistency fix applies on first launch after the patch; existing saves do not need to restart a chapter. |
PC (Steam, Epic, Mac App Store) | Minimum Font Size now applies without restart, the largest QoL win on PC. HDR keyboard input fixes apply immediately. |
GeForce NOW | Mirrors the PC Steam build automatically; no separate action required. |
Open Settings, change Minimum Font Size, and confirm the change applies without a restart.
Walk into the Greymane Contribution Officer at Greymane Camp and verify the Greymane Cloth Armor and Greymane Cloak appear in the contribution shop.
Move a piece of furniture in your Greymane Camp house and confirm the placement persists through a camp expansion.
Visit a fishing dock vendor or tanner and confirm the shop UI displays correctly.
Trigger a Pet rename and confirm only the Pet receives the notification banner.
If on PS5 Pro, enable HDR with PSSR Sharpness on and confirm the screen brightness is stable.
Open a Dye System interaction at any horse-gear vendor and confirm horse barding can be dyed.
Because Patch 1.04.02 mostly addresses Patch 1.04.00 documentation gaps, players already on 1.04.00 or 1.04.01 keep their progression unchanged. The Greymane Contribution Officer storefront, the furniture-preservation behavior, and the Greymane Camp relocation furniture transfer were technically live in 1.04.00 builds; 1.04.02 is the first patch document that confirms them officially. Players who were unsure whether their contribution-shop items had been retroactively granted can stop checking; the shop has been functioning since 1.04.00 and the items are stocked permanently in the camp.
