The latest update for the popular game has brought exciting enhancements for players across various gaming platforms. With the introduction of support for 60 frames per second, players on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 5, as well as PlayStation 5 Pro can enjoy an improved experience, although a fully native version is not yet available.
The update is ready for download now, weighing in at 31.8GB for Xbox users and a mere 0.75GB for those on PlayStation. For gamers on Xbox Series X, PS5, and PS5 Pro, the update offers the chance to choose between 4K resolution at 60fps or 1080p resolution at 60fps. However, players using the Xbox Series S will only have the option of 1080p at 60fps, which is understandable given the system's limitations compared to its more powerful counterparts.
It’s important to note that this update does not equate to a full native version of the gameplay for any of these platforms. Consequently, players will still see the game listed as a PS4 title on the PS5, despite having the most current edition installed. Individuals who own the original physical edition for Xbox One or PS4 can easily benefit from this update by inserting their disc into the Xbox Series X or PS5 and obtaining the most recent update.

Set in the vibrant backdrop of Victorian London, players get to experience the journey of the twin assassins, Jacob and Evie Frye, who are they confront the malevolent Templar forces that dominate the city.
This installment laid the groundwork for many gameplay mechanics that were later refined in games like Assassin’s Creed Origins, ensuring that even new players will find familiar elements if they have engaged with more recent titles. With its already impressive visuals, the enhancements to a 4K 60fps experience make it all the more thrilling to explore how much richer and more immersive the graphics will be after this update.
