Watch Dogs 2's Biggest Ever Update Drops This Month

Adds PvP, online races, more

by Robert Ramsey Wed 19th Apr 2017

Watch Dogs 2 garnered a decent amount of praise when it launched late last year, but its arrival didn't really set the world alight. Although it's commonly considered to be a sequel that improves upon just about everything that its predecessor got right, it released in a crowded period and was unfortunately overlooked by many. As far as we know, though, sales have been ticking along nicely since then, and so it's no surprise to see Ubisoft continuing its support of the title.

The game's April update is its biggest ever, bringing a brand new competitive multiplayer mode, online racing, and a load of new gear. The No Compromises downloadable content also launches this month, offering up some fresh missions. Not a bad haul if you're still into the adventures of Marcus and his gang of hackers.

Are you still playing Watch Dogs 2? Lay down some traps in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

I mean it's great & all but this isn't the type of game that I want to revisit & do PVP & racing on.

Although I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would,I still preferred the original..characters were far better and so was the story.I complete this and its done.Will be selling this on now.
Good that they are still supporting this though.

@Wazeddie22 I'm with you there, the darker and grittier tone suited the whole "corporations are watching you" vibe. WD2 felt like Ubisoft focus tested the game too much.

I liked this game, but I don't ever intend to revisit it for DLC or otherwise. I know a lot of outlets say that Watch Dogs 2 improved upon almost everything from the original game, but one thing was significantly worse.

Pure stealth.

The pure feet on the dirt, in the thick of it, like a ghost stealth that was possible in the original Watch Dogs was absent from Watch Dogs 2. If I had known that I would not have bought the sequel to, what I thought was, a pretty good stealth game.

I really want another Splinter Cell. If Ubisoft did a game like that right it might help to change the sour image I have for them. Fat chance that happens though... If it does; I have no doubt it will be an online affair...

If they released a single player only DLC which had a decent amount of content I'd buy that, but I just don't care for the multiplayer or cosmetic nonsense. It's a shame there's such a glut of microtransactions in the game, as it's got the potential to be great. As is, it looks like sheer greed on ubisods' part. I picked this up in a sale and blew through the campaign in about a week, and I really liked it. It's just a pain that it interrupts you with invasions and co op stuff every five mins.
