Wildlight Entertainment plans to roll out new quality-of-life features today for Highguard after gathering fan feedback. For consoles, a field-of-view slider is in the works, while PC players can look forward to additional graphics-scaling options.
The official Highguard account on X is also promising toggle settings for aiming down sights and crouching with the upcoming patch. Keep in mind that Wildlight notes it's "targeting to release" this update today, adding that a full list of fixes and changes will be available once it's live.
We've been listening to feedback and working to add some highly requested features, including FoV sliders for consoles, toggle settings for ADS & crouch, and more graphics scaling options for PC. We're targeting to release a patch tomorrow, with full patch notes once it's live?

Highguard launched earlier this week and comes from a team full of Apex Legends veterans. Wildlight has already revealed a roadmap for the rest of this year, full of new maps, wardens, and a ranked mode. The team is "confident" that Highguard is here to stay, even though naysayers have compared the online multiplayer game to Concord. Highguard has become a lightning-rod topic after its primetime unveiling at The Game Awards last month.
In fact, The Game Awards host and organizer Geoff Keighley has said he has no financial stake in Highguard after reportedly giving away the final reveal slot at the show to the newly launched game. That stands out considering the cost to have a title highlighted at The Game Awards is usually pretty expensive.
Looking ahead, Wildlight is considering adding horse racing to Highguard in the future. For more, check out GameSpot's hands-on Highguard preview. Highguard is free to play on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
