Ubisoft Updates Assassin's Creed Syndicate Over 7 Years After Release
Assassin's Creed Syndicate, which celebrates its eighth birthday this year, will receive an update tomorrow. It will fix bugs appearing on the PS5.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate will turn eight years old this year. Despite its considerable age, the game will receive a new update. Ubisoft announced patch 1.53, which will fix bugs that appear on the PS5.
If you're wondering what exactly it's about, let me explain. In a nutshell: Assassin's Creed Syndicate is available on the PS5 as part of backward compatibility, and unfortunately the game doesn't work too well on the console. Among other things, players are complaining about blinking textures and lighting issues. It is these problems that the upcoming patch is supposed to fix.
Most interestingly, however, people have been complaining about this problem for a long time. In August 2021, a thred was created on the official Ubisoft forum, in which players drew attention to the aforementioned issues. Support representatives responded at the time:
"Unfortunately, it may turn out to be a problem that cannot be solved. This is an older title that was not intended to be played on this platform [PS5 - ed.]."
So, as you can see, some developers were finally delegated to eliminate this rather persistent issue. Admittedly, it took a long time, but nevertheless Ubisoft is to be commended for not completely abandoning a game that is, after all, already that old.
