Sometimes it’s hard to differentiate the difference between downloading a new game and a software update when the update alone is over 600MB. Such is the case of LittleBigPlanet 3 update 1.06, which was released for PS4 (616MB) and PS3 (162MB). The update is designed to address a number of fixes to help improve the game’s stability and remedy a number of issues which will be outlined after the jump.

In addition to bug fixes, new features are being added to the game like new sorting and filtering options to the game’s text search. PS4 users will also enjoy some additional visual tweaks like Sackboy, OddSock, Toggle and Swoop appearing to be wet after swimming in water. The full LittleBigPlanet 3 update 1.06 changelog awaits you after the jump.
