Ubisoft has announced that a 60 FPS patch is coming to Assassin's Creed Unity, its French Revolution-set game released in 2014, tomorrow, March 5, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox consoles. This news comes as part of a wider franchise update from Ubisoft today that detailed in-development Assassin's Creed projects like Codename Hexe, Codename Invictus, and more, including a tease for the long-rumored Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag remake.

In the update, the new Assassin's Creed series Head of Content Jean Guesdon writes, "We know some of you have been waiting for it for a long time, so get ready to re-experience 18th Century Paris and Arno's fancy parkour moves with more smoothness on consoles," under the 60 FPS headline.

I wish they would do this with black flag but I know they are putting together a (probably shitty) remake
Yes to this, I picked up the PC port on sale and it did not play nice with my PC configuration, stutter and hickup galore. Until then, I do recommend Assassins Creed Rouge. Similar gameplay systems but runs on 60fps (at least on my SX). Huge map as well.
 
Bout time. It was the last AC that actually impressed me with its crowds and interior lighting. Arno is a cool character as well.

Also, the connection to Rogue was super cool. Wish they did that more often.
 
Is Unity actually a good game? I know it got blasted for performance and bugs back in the day.

I finally got a chance to play it a few years after release after it was all patched up and tweaked and I loved it. I think it's one of the better old school ones before it went off the deep end with Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla and Shadows.

Fantastic now that it's patched. It was in an AWFUL state at release. A lot of the story missions are really fucking great, the assassinations are really good. The Paris map is excellent, and the co-op mode is really fun as well.

Only thing I don't like is it's easily the MOST bloated entry in the series when it comes to map clutter. Like to an insane degree. But the actual meat and potatoes of the game is fantastic.
 
syndicate is much better.

To you maybe. To me Syndicate might as well be a completely different game. It's so completely over the top in comparison (I'm pretty sure it was directed by one of the guys behind Saints Row 3 so go figure lol)

Loved Syndicate

It was great and really ambitious, already pushing previous gen tech to its limits in 2014, at least CPU wise.
It just needed an extra month or two of polish when it was released but back then it was really hard for a publisher to consider skipping a holiday season and the game was punished more than it deserved.
 
Included in Ubisoft+ Classics. So included with PS+ Extra/Premium. As well as Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, I believe. Xbox.com blocked at work so someone correct me if that's wrong

lol....pretty sure PC Game Pass includes Ubisoft+ Classics, but Copilot is telling me that's wrong.

I enjoyed them both but Syndicate came out probably at Assassins Creed low point as it was after Unity which as we know was a buggy mess on release, also people where fatigued by that gameplay formular. These games are good but best played after a few years of not playing any Assassins Creed game.
 
Been 60fps on Xbox for a long time.
So unless this makes additional improvement, this is really just a Playstation patch.

Could be Xbox is getting a resolution boost. Xbox One was locked at 900p

I really like that Ubisoft does this. And thats something positive to say about Ubisoft!
Yeah, it may be the only positive thing I have to say about them right now but I do think it's really cool that we've gotten all these 60fps patches to stuff like The Division, and the Far Cry/AC games.

Unity has the best platforming/climbing-feel out of all of the older ACs.

It is the opposite of stiff, very fluid in motion, and has animations that account for awkward angles and odd grabs to a pleasantly surprising degree.

I haven't played Origins and beyond so I can't vouch for those.
 
Not even joking but legitimately why?
Ubisofts Legacy team are actually the best out there, over the past few years they've gone through previous Far Cry, AC, Watch_Dogs titles and updated support to either enhance resolution, frame rate, or in the case of Steam on PC, add things like achievements and cloud saves.

It's one of the few positive things about them and they put companies like Activision, Rockstar, etc, to shame.
