Game Updates on Consoles - Developers, Please Tell Me What You’re Doing to My Game!!

"....PC gamers will long be familiar with ‘Patch Notes’, a document that arrives alongside the update, giving details on what exactly has been changed and updated. There’s no reason for a developer to hide this information, and it’s better that the gamer knows what’s changed, as these updates can often have a huge impact on the gameplay experience. Console gamers however aren’t usually as lucky, as it’s often left up to the developer to choose whether to include details or not, an aspect which I find aggravating."

Great article! I feel that for multiplayer games, devs tend to release notes on updates online, but for singleplayer games they don't. I think it can be streamlined better, but for singleplayer a patch note may reveal a spoiler in the plot.

for instance:
Damage from final boss (Boss name) reduced to add difficulty

or something like that.

good read, everytime i see an update i have to jump online to find out what it does, would be so much easier to have patch notes on the game somewhere
