. They also note that a status update will be shared sometime next week.

The Iron Giant was removed from the MultiVersus character roster after complaints that he was overpowered and was causing an unfair advantage. The patch notes mention that this next update should add changes that will "prevent Iron Giant from chaining certain sets of ******* infinitely." Two things getting nerfed in Iron Giant's move set are the Ground Side *******, which will get a "slightly smaller" hitbox, and his Rage Mode Up Special, which will decrease the final hit damage from 5 to 6.

Another noteworthy change coming to Patch 1.01 includes fixing an issue that was causing performance problems for the Xbox Series X/S version and addressing an issue where specific keyboard configurations caused phantom inputs during a match.
