Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced PS5 1

Update []: The first big update for Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, which brings the PS5 remake up to version 1.04, is available to download now. My PS5 has just pulled the patch, so it's rolling out now.

You can view all the patch notes below.

Original Story: Ubisoft has detailed the first major post-launch update for Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, which'll be available to download on PS5 from tomorrow, 16th July 2026.

PS5 players can expect a 2.44GB patch to download, and the initial list of patch notes reads like plenty of fixes, tweaks, and improvements. There's nothing particularly major to pick out besides better "performance and stability".

I recommend you pick up AC Black Flag Resynced, having awarded the PS5 remake an 8/10 score last week. "It’s as you remember it, except better, bigger, and markedly flashier in all the right ways. Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced demonstrates there’s still a charm to staying faithful," I said.
