A new update for Digimon Story: Time Stranger was released in November 2025. This version focuses on fixing numerous bugs that were causing problems with quests, battles, and how objectives were displayed in the game.

Since launching on October 3rd, the newest Digimon game has become incredibly popular on Steam, reaching almost 85,000 players at its peak and earning nearly 5,000 “Very Positive” reviews. It’s also proven successful on the PS5, with 7,500 reviews on the PlayStation Store. Digimon Story: Time Stranger has already received two updates since its release.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger November Update Introduces 40+ Bug Fixes

A new update went live on November 5th for all versions of the game. The update includes over 40 changes, mostly fixes for bugs. Many of these fixes address problems within the Digimon Story: Time Stranger missions, specifically scripting errors that were preventing players from advancing. Fixed quests include Reunions Bring Trouble, Gathering Storm Clouds, and Resonating Thoughts.

A new update released in early November addresses problems in side quests like The Worthy, Olympos XII’s Test Match, and From Pegasusmon to the World. The update fixes missing instructions, incorrectly positioned characters, and a strange bug that made enemies invincible under certain conditions. Several small issues with the final boss fight have also been resolved. You can find a detailed list of changes in the official update notes, but be warned – they might spoil parts of the game if you haven’t finished Digimon Story: Time Stranger yet.

The November 2025 update has different version numbers depending on your platform: Xbox Series X/S players will see version 1.6.1.0, Steam users will see 20597123, and PlayStation 5 players will see update 01.000.005. The update should download automatically, and while it’s not essential to keep playing, Bandai Namco suggests installing it soon. This patch includes bug fixes, along with small improvements to how the game feels and minor visual tweaks to characters, backgrounds, and text.

Expect more updates to fix issues in Digimon Story: Time Stranger over the next few months. The game’s developer, Media Vision, is also creating new content, including three downloadable packs available as part of a $29.99 season pass. The first two packs should be released in the first three months of 2026, and the third is planned for release in the following quarter. Each pack will add five new ways to evolve Mega Digimon.
