Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will be able to run at a smooth 60 frames per second on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S starting on November 19, thanks to a free patch coming to consoles. Additionally, players on Xbox Series X, PS5, and PS5 Pro will be able to experience the spectacle of Victorian London in full 4K resolution at 60 FPS, breathing new life into the game’s cobblestone streets and massive Industrial Age structures.
Set in 1868, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate follows a pair of Assassin twins, Jacob and Evie Frye, as they explore London and build up a gang – the Rooks – to take the city back from Templar domination. The most modern-set Assassin’s Creed to date (present-day storylines notwithstanding), it lets players wield concealed weapons including kukris, cane swords, revolvers, and brass knuckles, and use a wrist-mounted rope launcher to rapidly climb London’s huge, intricately detailed buildings and launch ziplines across its broad avenues. Players can also take full advantage of the carriages that rumble through the streets, leading the Templar-controlled Blighter gang on high-speed chases (and jumping to the roof to fight any pursuers who try to climb aboard).
Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is available for PS5, PS5 Pro, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC (via the Ubisoft Store, Epic Games Store, and Steam), and Amazon Luna. It’s also included with a Ubisoft+ Premium or Classics subscription on PC, a Ubisoft+ Premium subscription on Xbox, and a Ubisoft+ Classics subscription on PlayStation (available either as part of PlayStation Extra or Premium, or with a standalone subscription).
