GamePatchNote Digest
Phobos News — March 16, 2024
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
We are pleased to announce the successful migration of our server from Amsterdam to New York. This move is set to notably enhance the gaming experience for our North and South American users by significantly reducing latency. We are also committed to maintaining reasonable latency for our European community, ensuring a seamless gaming experience for all. For now we're testing, please inform us on your latency changes.
