A new title update has released for Watch Dogs Legion, preparing the open worlder for its anticipated online update. The patch weighs in at 10GB on the PlayStation 4 and 2.3GB on the PS5 – that’s some impressive compression on the next-gen console, by the way – and bundles in a bunch of bug fixes to boot.
The online experience will roll out from 7AM PT, and it’ll not include its previously advertised Tactical Op due to a last-minute bug. However, you’ll be able to enjoy brand new co-op missions as well as the Spider-Bot Arena, with more updates to come throughout the year. Will you be returning to London later today?

Perhaps by the time I get round to it, the game will be a lot better. The second game is genuinely great so I was looking forward to this but the lukewarm reaction put me off.

Wait for the inevitable ps plus/ps now selection.
Game can be found for $20 already despite being 5 months old.
I regret getting the gold edition for this instead of Valhalla. This game is boring to me for some reason, the recruiting gimmick wears off in the first couple of hours and the missions are hyper repetitive! Maybe it's worth to play it on PS5, I'd imagine the loads are shorter
Really boring game and doesn't look or play especially well on a PS5, got it cheap at the beginning of Jan and not touched it since. Shame really as I enjoyed 2.
I wish they would do a 60fps update
I was enjoying this game on PS4 after getting it in a digital sale, partly though just seeing how well they had created this compressed version of London to wander about in. Then my PS4 went weird after 8.03, initialised it once and worked for about a week, but now just keeps going into an error state in safe mode. Cant find a PS5 for sale and dont really want to replace the PS4 with another one, so not going to play this again for a while.
I seem to be in the minority here but I thoroughly enjoyed the game. It kept me entertained enough to go for the Plat.
Sure, there are one or two tedious moments and a few frustratingly tricky campaign missions, but all in all I enjoyed it. Will probably give the online a try at some point this week.
@TommyArter Agree with you there, the driving was pretty floaty and I think could have really done with some improvement, but overall I was having fun with the game.
The story was naff but overall I thought it was good fun. I played most of the game using just my teen ex-Clan Kelley member. She was kinda cool despite calling everybody bruv and fam.
Only played 1/3 of it and got bored. That and the voices in the game annoyed me. Some were very stereotypical /annoying, as well as bumping into characters with the exact same voice breaks any immersion for me.
So basically the "good" content was put on hold for a "bug" that they found at the last second on sony consoles so they delayed it for every platform and all we get is the minor content in the meantime.
Another ftw sony! Ty.
I still have mixed feelings about this game. At first I was one of the lone voices saying it was actually really good, but the more I got into it certain aspects became problematic. Freeing the districts was fun. Upgrades being tied to tech points that you have to wander around and invent a bunch of stealth type situations to acquire is kind of boring and frustrating. But thematically, the idea of a total military police state in a Watch Dogs game kind of defeats the point. The whole theme is the hidden surveillance police state the public is oblivious to. The idea that behind a safe private world the public sees there's the seedy underbelly of the digital police state just beneath the surface is supposed to be the whole overarching purpose of the hacker vigilantes of Watch Dogs. Putting it all in a physical police state breaks the pretense. But I could still live with that because the stealth hacker gameplay was the best of the series. But then when 1/3 of the game goes deep into a whole body snatchers/organ harvesting operation with bloody cells and body bags hanging on hooks, it started feeling more like a bad Far Cry than a good Watch Dogs. I know the story lifts out of that probably shortly after where I am, but the fact that that ends up overlapping beyond its chapter and is literally everywhere in every building you sneak into in the game (for tech points) it starts feeling like it doesn't know what kind of game it wants to be. There's only so many torture rooms with bloody drains and drills on tables you find before the game stops feeling like a fun hacker punk vigilante game.
What's there and good is good. But the creative direction feels like 3 separate teams made the game and all thought it was a different game.
Then again, it's London...that may all be an accurate representation.
@Netret0120 5 months? The game was $40 2 weeks after launch!
