Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Patch Fixes Questionable Outfit Textures After Community Backlash
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Aspyr has released a patch for Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered to fix controversial outfit textures that previously sparked community backlash and accusations of generative AI use.
Aspyr has rolled out a fresh patch for Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered, addressing the controversial outfit textures that recently sparked heavy criticism from players. Last month's free Challenge Mode update introduced new difficulty customization options alongside unlockable outfits for Lara, but the implementation missed the mark. Fans quickly took to social media to roast the low-quality assets, dubbing the update 'Slop Raider' and accusing the development team of relying on generative AI tools to push out the content.
While Aspyr previously denied using generative AI in the update's creation, the studio promised to overhaul the textures as a top priority. True to their word, the latest hotfix delivers a noticeable visual upgrade that has largely won back the community. Players sharing side-by-side comparisons online have praised the vastly improved detail and fidelity of the newly revised costumes, erasing the awkward textures that dominated discussions following the initial drop.
The update is currently live across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and Android platforms, though players on Nintendo Switch 2 will need to wait just a bit longer for the rollout. Aspyr confirmed that a secondary patch is already in development to tackle remaining community pain points, including game crashes, save bugs, and inventory issues. As digital updates and live support continue to shape how we experience classic re-releases, this swift course correction highlights the power of direct player feedback in keeping modern remasters up to standard.
