Crafted by Rebellion Developments,Sniper Elite: Resistancewas released on Jul 25, 2025, on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, to an overall mixed reception.
The initial period right after launch has been a rocky one forSniper Elite: Resistance. Apart from middling critical reviews, the shooter title has also been divisive among players, some of whom have calledResistancecloser to being a DLC forSniper Elite 5rather than its standalone sequel. However, since the game’s underwhelming release, Rebellion devs have been listening to feedback and have been hard at work improving the player experience in thelatestSniper Eliteentry. As a big step in that direction, they recently shipped a bulky update onto the action game across all platforms.
Following theSniper Elite: Resistancehotfixon February 10, devs have now delivered the first-ever patch, Update 1.05, for their third-person action game. The comprehensive patch comes with an original Alpine Gorge map for the No Cross multiplayer mode, alongside two other maps returning fromSniper Elite 5. These include the Pest Control map and the Deathmatch map, which were available in the previous game’s survival mode and deathmatch mode, respectively.
There are also a host of performance optimizations and bug fixes in the latestSniper Elite: Resistancepatch. These changes resolve a plethora of issues, ranging from the FPS issue while playing with keyboard and mouse to the various technical problems affecting the K98, M1935, and M1911 guns. Additionally, the UI and localization of the sniper game have also been made better.
On top of that, Rebellion Developments has ironed out the creases in severalsingle-player missions in the newSniper Elitetitle, including the very first “Behind Enemy Lines” mission as well as another that takes place later in the story, such as the “End of the Line” mission. On the multiplayer front, a number of graphical issues and gameplay bugs have been resolved across different modes and different maps, from the texture glitches in River Front and Destroyed Town to the missing prompts in Chateau Grounds and Fortress Command.
Post the arrival of the latest patch,Sniper Elite: Resistanceplayers may expect a significant bump in the game’s performance across its various modes. As Rebellion takes care of the rough edges, it is safe to assume the work on the game’s post-launch content is also underway, given that Season Pass buyers are expected to receive additional missions, weapons, and more in the coming months.Resistance’s first DLC content, the Hitler-based Lights, Camera, Achtung mission, was released on June 14, 2025.
