Watch Dogs Legion Update Brings EVEN MORE Content According to Updated Roadmap

Watch Dogs Legion seems to be one of the main focuses of Ubisoft lately, and they’re getting ready to bring it more content soon.

GameRant reports that the upcoming Patch 4.5 for Watch Dogs Legion will bring even more content to the game, as revealed in an updated official roadmap. It’s worth noting that 4.5 was actually supposed to release this month, though it looked like Ubisoft did need the extra time to work on it.

 Among the biggest additions was the 60 FPS upgrade on next-gen consoles, which was actually one of the most requested updates to the game, as reported by Eurogamer. This is a much-needed update because Watch Dogs Legion, for some reason, was running at a measly 30 FPS on the Series X and the PS5, which is really, really bad.

Aside from this, there’s also a 2nd Tactical Op, a free operative in the badass Grandma Helen, who was one of the characters that featured during Watch Dogs Legion’s early gameplay trailers. And lastly, there’s the much-awaited cross-gen play support, as revealed by the official Twitter page for the game.

Patch 4.5 is expected to release on June 1st, barring any more delays.

Watch Dogs Legion At 60 FPS On Consoles, Finally

Perhaps the one that players should be the most excited about is the 60 FPS patch for next-gen consoles. Because frankly, it’s about time.

The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, for the first time in years, are both now packing very high-end hardware capable of matching a tricked-out gaming PC. And with that disrespectful 30 FPS lock, Watch Dogs Legion is absolutely wasting all of that next-gen performance potential.

It’s still not sure whether the 60 FPS patch will come with console-specific graphics options, such as a choice between performance or quality mode.

Cross-Gen Play Confirmed

Watch Dogs Legion’s next biggest update to the 60 FPS boost will be cross-gen play. This means that if you play on any specific platform (say, PS5), you’ll be able to partake in online co-op missions with literally any player on PS4. The same thing goes for Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One.

Let’s clear up a bit of confusion, however, with the terms “cross-gen play” and “cross-play”. Cross-gen play means that gamers will be able to play with other people regardless of console generation (i.e. PS5 with PS4). Cross-play, on the other hand, means that literally anyone on any platform regardless of console generation can play with each other (i.e. PC with PS5).

Cross-play support, as described in the aforementioned paragraph, looks like it will come at a slightly later date.

MORE Content And Bug Fixes

Patch 4.0 did bring a good amount of fixes with it, but it still left a lot to be desired. 4.5 aims to fix that.

Mina Sidhu, a hero that was added in the previous patch, has been riddled with a few bugs that are taking players out of their “play as anyone” immersion; something that Watch Dogs Legion prides itself in ever since it was first revealed. As such, update 4.5 will fix a slew of Mina bugs which include:

• Certain NPCs wrongly get Mina’s abilities

• Mina keeps the weapon of a previously possessed NPC

• Inability to exit Mind Control mode

• Players being able to use Mind Control on NPCs that aren’t supposed to be mind-controlled

• Inability to return to Mina if the currently controlled NPC dies

Ubisoft is expected to release the full patch notes close to the June 1st launch of update 4.5.
