Not all of them do this, but many of them do now. It’s been this way for a long time already. Games today get patches quite regularly. Console certification even has a “conditional pass” result where the submitted version of the game passes cert, but requires the publisher to submit a day 1 patch to fix a bunch of additional issues (e.g. Cyberpunk 2077, where they actually failed cert on their day 1 patch, leading to a post-gold delay).

I’m porting my rendering code from OpenGL to the Sokol library. Sokol has a very nice low-level 3D API with multiple rendering backends (GL/Metal/D3D). Combined with the accompanying shader cross-compiler it’s a lot easier to experiment with new rendering techniques and shaders. Still work in progress but I’ve done proof of concept tests for all major components of the game and everything seems to be OK.
