The much loved 3D platformer A Hat in Time just got a surprise patch to update the game for newer graphics APIs.

With the June 26th update they’ve added in support for DirectX 12 and Vulkan, which should help keep it running smoothly on modern systems. They’re still currently recommending DirectX 9 for now.

They also had two bug fixes:

• Fixed rare crash when playing mods in Online Party.
• Fixed Time Piece collect jingle playing for an incorrect duration.
