We've begun to deploy a maintenance patch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Android. This patch includes a Party Royale visual fix, re-enables the HUD Scale option that went missing on console and PC, and enables NVIDIA Reflex for available PC drivers. pic.twitter.com/zIcY9KDJ0y

Labelled update 2.88 on PS4, the new patch also re-enables the HUD Scale options on both console and PC. This should be helpful for gamers with non-standard display setups. If you find your UI breaking out of the border of your monitor, this will help.
For the main Battle Royale mode, the following bugs got fixed: Incorrect XP Coin Punch Card progress, Gas Cans being temporarily disabled in Battle Lab, placing a map marker canceling movement. There are no new map changes, new items or mechanics coming in this patch though, so don’t expect new challenges.
The patch has also added new support for NVIDIA Reflex drivers. This should allow both the game’s servers and the players to better handle latency by accounting for various factors on client machines with better accuracy.
