Marvel's Avengers Update 1.04 is live and with it comes some minor improvements to game play as Square Enix ramps up for release. The game is still in its open beta phase but fans have a lot to be excited about with this new game.

Here is what was introduced in the Marvel's Avengers Update 1.04.

Avengers Update 1.04: Everything You Need to Know

Marvel's Avengers is currently in its open beta phase which means Square Enix is still trying to improve the game before its launch of Sept. 4.

Most of the changes were quality of life updates including decreased amount of motion blur during fights or improvements to the vaulting mechanic but the biggest change is to the matchmaking system. The multiplayer mode allows a player to match up with up to three other players and compete in missions while fighting against computers.

The other minor changes include a bug fix for the character Hulkbuster, the Iron Man suit designated for fighting the Hulk, as players reported that their screen would go black then another hero would use the suit. It will be interesting to see how the game evolves in the next few months as there have been no other successful Avengers games.

The full version of Marvel's Avengers releases on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Sept. 4 and will also be available to play on next generation consoles.
