Source:DedSec, we’re deploying Title Update 4.5 to all platforms today. This patch will bring our second Tactical Op, Project Omni, a new free reward track for the Online mode, as well as more game improvements, 60 FPS performance mode to next-gen consoles and cross-family play on consoles.
The update will be between 16 and 39GB depending on your platform and will be required to play the Online Mode, so make sure you download the patch and restart your game clients.
New Tactical Op: Project Omni
Take on this intense, challenging content with 3 other players. DedSec infiltrates a secret project that is affecting people’s Optik devices throughout the city… only to find out that a mad doctor has been experimenting on people and has merged their brains with a neural network that he controls. He must be stopped.
Quality of Life updates:
New free Operative:
- 60 FPS performance mode for next-gen consoles.
- Cross-family play is now enabled. Players on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, as well as PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 can now play together within their console family.
