A new patch has released for Super Smash Bros Ultimate, just one month after the release of the first Fighters Pass 2 character Min Min.
The latest update adds a free new stage called 'Small Battlefield'. As the name suggests, it is a smaller version of the classic stage; music customisation options have also been added.
Online play experience has been greatly improved with a change to the Elite Smash threshold and Global Smash Power calculations.
Here are the patch notes for version 8.1.0 in Smash Ultimate.
