Update Version 1.06 for Kingdom Hearts III has just released and while we do not know the entirety of what has been added or fixed, there are a couple of things we do know. First off is the title screen which has slightly changed. The 'Special' option on the title screen features the sub menus for accessing the 'Theater', Memory Archives', and 'Tutorials' menus now instead of them all being jumbled together on the start screen. Also, according to popular Kingdom Hearts speedrunner Bizkit047, "lock on switching is now fixed and is instant".
