Ubisoft’s open-world hack-’em-up Watch Dogs Legion is set to receive an update on PS5 and Xbox Series X that’ll boost the performance of the game to up to 60 frames-per-second.
This interesting tidbit was confirmed during a recent Reddit AMA with the developers behind the title. Specifically, the game’s live producer Lathieeshe Thillainathan said a 60FPS update is in the works and is coming to the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game in a future update.
“60FPS for next-gen consoles is in development and we’ll announce the exact release dates with our future [title update],” Thillainathan confirmed.
Surprisingly, Watch Dogs Legion only runs at 30FPS on next-gen consoles. If you compare that to other PS5 and Xbox Series X titles developed and published by Ubisoft, like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Immortals Fenyx Rising, Watch Dogs Legion comes up short performance-wise. In fact, both of those aforementioned open-world action-adventure experiences give players the option to run at a buttery smooth 60FPS, at the cost of some visual effects like ray-tracing, of course.
Our very own Zhiqing Wan reviewed Watch Dogs Legion on PC at launch. She ultimately awarded the game three-and-a-half out of five in her Twinfinite review, saying: “Ubisoft’s vision of near-future London is a beautifully realized sandbox world that I loved spending time in, but it’s also forgettable and not one that I see myself returning to anytime soon.” Feel free to read her full in-depth review here.
