Ubisoft had made good on its promise to roll out Watch Dogs Legion‘s 60 frames-per-second performance mode for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The mode came bundled with title update 4.5, which also includes cross-play between console families.
Patch notes are as follows:
New Tactical Op: Project Omni
Take on this intense, challenging content with 3 other players. DedSec infiltrates a secret project that is affecting people’s Optik devices throughout the city… only to find out that a mad doctor has been experimenting on people and has merged their brains with a neural network that he controls. He must be stopped.
Quality of Life updates:
- 60 FPS performance mode for next-gen consoles.
- Cross-family play is now enabled. Players on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, as well as PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 can now play together within their console family.
- Added loading screen hints for the HUD customization options.
- We’ve made several adjustments and optimizations to the start of the Single Player campaign. This will speed up some of the early areas and make it easier for new players to find their footing in our near-future London.
- HUD Display Presets
- Added a “Light” preset, which turns off a few of the most intrusive HUD elements
- Added an “Immersive” preset, which keeps only the most necessary information
