LawBreakers is a brand new arena shooter, made by Boss Key Studios and published by Nexon, which was just released on August 8th. With no real surprise, the game required a day one patch for the PS4 version dealing with freezing issues players were experiencing.
The freeze ups (or hitchings) were happening during gameplay when players would change roles or leave a match. This would only happen for a fraction of a second, but this is just long enough to be a problem. Other players were reporting it while doing neither of those actions, but this was likely due to other players causing the hitching.
The team at Boss Key did manage to get the patch done and out for players yesterday, so they got it done fast and early.

Today, they implemented another patch to try and fix the hitching issue. They told players to close the application and completely restart it:
PS4 — We have the hitching issue fix patch up now. Please close the application completely and restart to update. See you in game!

No official release on what the patch notes actually include. The players are thrilled with the way the development teams fast action. Hopefully, anymore problems with LawBreakers will end up with the same results.
