Titanfall Update 5 Adds Black Market, Framerate Optimizations and More

Titanfall has been updated with the release of game update 5, which sees the addition of the Black Market and multi-GPU support on the PC.

Following up on their reveal for the update last week, Respawn has made good on its promise to release the patch that includes new features and tweaks for the PC and Xbox One versions of the game. The Xbox 360 version of the game is handled by a different developer, so the updates for that version differ from its PC and Xbox One counterparts.

The biggest feature within the update is the introduction of the Black Market, where players can buy and sell burn cards through the use of currency acquired by playing the game. Additionally, achievements for the Frontier’s Edge DLC have been added to the title.

Other tweaks include support for multi-GPUs on the PC and framerate optimizations across both the PC and Xbox One platforms.

The studio announced that it will be releasing the Frontier’s Edge DLC on July 31. The DLC will be available as part of the game’s DLC Season Pass and can be bought separately for $9.99.

Here’s what’s in store:

New Features (All Platforms)

For this update, we're introducing the Black Market — where you can buy and sell burn cards. Additionally there are eight new Titan decals available in the Black Market which you can also buy with in-game credits.
