More to master....
by Robert Ramsey
As promised, the big Sifu update is now live on PS5 and PS4. Patch 1.009 brings difficulty settings to the often brutal martial arts brawler, adding both an easy mode and a hard mode. You can see the thinking behind these options in the official video embedded above.
But that's not all. Update 1.009 also adds an advanced training mode (which should be a big help in getting to grips with certain combos and moves), as well as the ability to change your character's outfit. The patch weighs in at 3.5GB.
