A free 60 FPS patch for Assassin’s Creed Unity is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 tomorrow!
We know some of you have been waiting for it for a long time, so get ready to re‑experience 18th century Paris and Arno’s fancy parkour moves with more smoothness on consoles! And for our Xbox players out there, we’ve got a little treat, as multiple Assassin’s Creed games will be playable for free for a limited time for Xbox Free Play Days, from April 2nd to 6th! Perfect time to try Unity in that 60 FPS beauty.
I’ll wait for tomorrow, as I’m still hopeful for some resolution bump, but even 1080p would be great. I’ll take every tiny upgrade with this gem. I’ve been waiting so long to replay it.
I think Unity is probably the most difficult AC game. It’s one of the only ones I never completed, as a total stealth dunce. You can sort of brute force the other games and eventually get through them but Unity gave me a lot of trouble.
I wonder if anyone will bother testing to see if hiw the 60FPS runs after the update? If it’s good I can see myself updating, if not Unity be omes an offline game like Wuchang.
Played Unity after it received the Xbox FPS boost and I low-key wanted to throw my controller at the game, it’s so horribly designed and plays like absolute shit, it and 3 are just horrible and I even made sure to try to remember if the whole original series was like that but no, having tried 2 recently it’s aged better than those.
That’s funny as those 2 (Unity and 3) are some of my favourite actually, along with AC Origins. The only other AC games I finished were Black Flag and Brotherhood, the rest just dragged out for me and I never finished them.
I liked 3 ok (the story was kind of disjointed with switching protagonists though) but the lighting got all messed up for me and it was hard to see most of the time so I didn’t do anything after completing the story. Working on 4 now, and after I do some dlc I hope to finally get around to unity. This timing worked out well for me as I’ve only played maybe 5 minutes of it so far so I’ll get the best version.
Been watching some coverage about the new update and Fuzion Xbox Testing was getting 60fps in almost all scenarios, the time it did drop was starting a fight in a large crowd and dropping smoke bombs. Also it’s weird that I see what everyone is wearing and remember that my character is dressed in bright yellow, lol.
Yeah, it definitely drops when using smoke bombs. There’s also a weird lighting bug that wasn’t there on Xbox One, but I think it still looks fine, considering HDR and Global Illumination and every modern lighting techniques were in their infancy at the time, at least in gaming.
Anyway, the game looks absolutely stunning for what it manages to achieve at the time. And the crowd technology is still mind blowing today.
I tried everything, even turning off auto-HDR, but there’s nothing you can do, it’s part of how the game runs on Xbox. It’s either too bright or too dark because of the way the game lighting works. It’s still fine most of the time, you just have to set the brightness setting to get some kind of middle ground.
