PC Hotfix 2 fixes
- Miscellaneous crash, stability, and performance fixes.
- Opening Slayer Seal from the Beacon equipment menu should no longer lock the interface.
- Weapons stolen from enemies during ripostes should now be returned correctly.
PS5 Update 1.000.006 fixes
- General crash and stability improvements.
- Input-settings and Open Beta save-file issues.
- A crash caused by wearing the cultist robe and switching weapons.
- A crash caused by accessing Slayer Seal through the Change Equipment menu.

Xbox Series hotfix fixes
The same input, Beta-save, cultist-robe, Slayer Seal, and riposte-weapon issue groups as PS5, plus general crash and stability work, and a platform-specific entitlement fix: Devout Edition and preorder skins that were not awarded should now be delivered correctly.
These hotfixes are not proof that Balance Patch 1 reached a platform. PS5 Update 1.000.006 is the earlier hotfix; players report a later 1.000.007 package for Balance Patch 1.
