Patch is an update (fix, correction) released by the game developer to fix bugs, add new content, or make changes to the game. Patches are used to fix "bugs" or errors, particularly those that were discovered after the game's release.
What can a video game patch do?
Fix programming errors that can lead to incorrect behavior in the game. This may include fixing bugs that cause the game to "crash," graphical issues, incorrect character behavior, or other problems.
Game balance patches can make changes to the game to balance it. This may mean changing character strength, item costs, enemy difficulty, or any other game element.
A patch can add new content to the game, such as new levels, characters, items, or missions.
A patch for graphics or performance improvements may include updates that enhance graphics or performance for more powerful hardware, or conversely for simpler setups.
Updates can be released and automatically downloaded through services such as Steam, PlayStation Network, or Xbox Live. Some video games also release "patch bundles" that include a set of updates in one file.
