I fired up Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and discovered that the developers had created an "enhanced edition" as a free upgrade and at some point, that update had been downloaded and applied. While I'm sure it improves the game for people with modern hardware, my RTX 2070 box can't get more than 40fps out of it - at best - at 1080p with ray tracing off and most settings at medium. It was previously well over 60 and stable. I could get 50 for the most part at 1440p.
I'm torn between giving them props for creating a bunch of visual upgrades to an older game and not charging for them, and being really angry at them for basically making it a worse game for everyone who didn't get into the 3000 series Nvidia sweepstakes.
