Hands On Assassin's Creed Unity's PS5 Update Has Made Us Rethink That 5/10 Review
Revolutionary
Assassin's Creed Unity was a weird one, wasn't it? Arguably the most ambitious instalment in the series up until that point, Unity was panned at launch — primarily because it was an absolute shambles in terms of technical performance. Our own review of the game, which was first published all the way back in November 2014 — has it...

It's just a PS4 complete edition
Without any official Ubisoft announcements or marketing push, The Division: Definitive Edition has quietly gone live on the PS Store as of today.

Apparently more of a Gold Edition replacement
A new Definitive Edition of PS4 game The Division very much seems to be real, but new findings and leaks now suggest this may not be a huge, native PS5 enhancement as first expected.

NYC awaits
You may recall prior to Christmas, the team at Ubisoft updated 2016’s The Division to run at 60fps on PS5.

But now, a banner...
