"Assassin's Creed Syndicate receives a 60fps patch for PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S, although it does not have a native version."
A pleasant surprise.
A new update for Assassin's Creed Syndicate has been released, allowing players on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 5 Pro to enjoy a frame rate of 60 fps. This patch is available for download and requires 31.8GB on Xbox devices, while on PlayStation it only needs 0.75GB.
Users of Xbox Series X and PS5 can choose to play in 4K resolution at 60fps or in 1080p at 60fps. Meanwhile, Xbox Series S owners only have the option of 1080p at 60fps, which is understandable given the lower performance of this console compared to its competitors.
It's important to note that this update does not provide a native version of the game on any of these platforms. Thus, Assassin's Creed Syndicate will continue to appear as a PS4 title on PS5, even with the latest version installed. Those who own the original physical version of Xbox One or PS4 will also be able to benefit from this improvement by simply inserting the disc into their console and downloading the corresponding update.
Fans who have been waiting for a reason to revisit this installment of the series, especially in anticipation of the release of Assassin's Creed Shadows, may find this update to be a great opportunity.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate was originally released in 2015 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and is set in a Victorian London where players control the assassin twins Jacob and Evie Frye as they fight against the Templar forces dominating the city. This title introduced many mechanics that were later developed in Assassin's Creed Origins, so it will feel familiar to those who have only played the latest installments. Visually, it has always been a great game, and many are eagerly anticipating how it will look after this upgrade to 4K and 60fps.
