On top of that, Legion will receive a fair portion of free content starting with an online co-op mode in December. The most notable comeback is Aiden Pearce’s one - the caped protagonist of the original Watch Dogs game will return as a playable operative, with a beard and an exhausted look this time. The rest of the community questions were mostly focused on gameplay details rather than the technical aspects of the game.Īt the beginning of October, Ubisoft revealed a post-launch story expansion for Watch Dogs: Legion, the post-launch Bloodline DLC, which will reintroduce a handful of fan-favorite characters to the game. Unfortunately, the live producer didn’t elaborate on this topic further, leaving these concerns unaddressed. Users reacted to this response in an expectedly disappointed manner, asking for at least an option to opt in to a 4K/60fps performance mode without the demanding real-time ray tracing technology. According to the producer, the game will indeed run at 4K with ray tracing enabled but capped at 30fps on both the next-gen consoles. In an AMA session on Reddit, Watch Dogs: Legion producer Lathieeshe Thillainathan was asked about performance features of the game and whether it will be able to reach 4K/120fps with ray tracing enabled on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

Interestingly, even high-end PCs weren’t able to reach 60fps with high graphical fidelity before Nvidia announced revolutionary 30 Series GPUs, but there's little question that this is underwhelming performance considering what Microsoft and Sony have hyped 'next-gen' up to be.Īccording to July’s technical research by Digital Foundry, even the most powerful Nvidia graphics cards weren’t capable of running Watch Dogs: Legion with the highest specs at 4K/60fps with RTX enabled. Ubisoft has revealed that Watch Dogs: Legion can only run at 30fps on PS5 and Xbox Series X with 4K resolution and real-time ray tracing enabled.
