Riding high on the success of George Miller's "Mad Max: Fury Road", which saw the popular Mad Max franchise return on the main screen, developer Avalanche Studios and publisher WB Interactive Entertainment released Mad Max -- an open world action-adventure video game.
Though the game received mixed reviews following its release, but was praised for its story, game world design, vehicular combat and progression system.
When it was released, the game developed issues regarding unstable frame rate, texture pop-up and with audio files. These have not deterred fans of the franchise from the game.
Meanwhile, WB Games announced the release of patch 4 for Mad Max, promising fixes to maps, performance, UI, camera, general bug fixes and more.
Patch 4 was released for all the three platforms that the game was released. One new addition for PC was the addition of Steam Controller support and other fixes specific to PC.
WB Games recently asked Mad Max players to send pictures of funny Wasteland moments.
Mad Max was released on 1 September, 2015, for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
