Blue Prince Resolves Key Problem with Patch 1.01 Update

Dogubomb has rolled out Patch 1.01 for Blue Prince, and it’s fixing some significant bugs that had been plaguing the game. Most importantly, they’ve tackled a nasty issue where new game files would override your save data if you force quit the game. For fans deeply immersed in Blue Prince’s storyline, this update is a big relief. The game has received glowing reviews since its 2025 debut thanks to its captivating narrative and seamless gameplay in this first-person exploration puzzle adventure.

Blue Prince, which dropped on April 10, has players following Simon Jones as he navigates the puzzling inheritance of the Mount Holly estate. The catch? To officially claim the estate, Simon needs to uncover a secret room hidden amidst shifting and resetting rooms, making every day a new puzzle to solve. But shortly after the game’s launch, players faced setbacks due to the save data glitch that could wipe out their progress. Thankfully, this latest patch sets to right that wrong.

Now available on PC and PlayStation 5, with Xbox Series X|S updates on the horizon set for April 15, Patch 1.01 ensures that quitting Blue Prince unexpectedly no longer results in lost progress. While Dogubomb investigates further issues, options for backing up, restoring, or duplicating save files are temporarily disabled.

In addition to resolving the save data nightmare, this update enhances gameplay by adjusting the spawn rate of battery packs and fixing the safe unlocking glitch in the shelter room. The developers also tweaked the odds of encountering certain rare rooms, refining the experience for an optimal balance of challenge and discovery.

As more adjustments are in the pipeline, players can look forward to ongoing improvements. With Blue Prince available to subscribers of PlayStation Plus Extra and Xbox Game Pass, there’s even more reason to dive into one of 2025’s top-rated games.

Here’s a quick rundown of the Patch 1.01 notes:
