“The entire game will be unlocked and available to sample, including the vast 30-hour single player campaign and full access to Resistance Mode, Homefront’s online co-operative experience, together with new Missions released since it was launched,” the company stated.

According to several sources, the Performance Patch boosted Homefront’s frame rates and overall performance by focusing in on GPU, lighting and particles, checkpoint saves, enemy spawning optimizations, and two new free Resistance Mode missions.
