Ubisoft Outlines Benefits of Playing Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed, More on PS5 - Push Square

All of Ubisoft’s upcoming games will be available on the PlayStation 5 and the PlayStation 4, with the French publisher offering free PS4 to PS5 upgrades.

First up, Watch Dogs: Legion, which will feature raytracing on the forthcoming format, and will leverage the “Tempest 3D Audio engine to bring London to life by hearing every passing car, talking pedestrian, or drone flying overhead”.

Other games on the horizon, including Far Cry 6 and Riders Republic, will each run at 60 frames-per-second in 4K on the PS5, so this looks like it’s going to be a recurring thing for cross-gen releases.

Overall, it looks like solid support from Ubisoft, as you’d expect.

A true PlayStation veteran, Sammy's covered the world of PS gaming for years, with an enormous Trophy count to prove it.

He also likes tennis games way more than you.

For those that want to enjoy the added benefits like myself will buy the console.

Will play just fine on my 1st gen ps4!

@arzis100193 The PS5 comes with a small man in the box who whispers in your ears as you play.

And considering the ps5 is backwards compatible with pretty much all PS4 games, why would you want to keep the ps4 over the new machine.

I can play all of its library with better frame rates and load times.

@Dre180 @VatoLoco47 Ok, you guys got a point, but I was just trying to rush out a joke, so it's my fault.

I'll believe the 4k 60fps claims when digital foundry confirms it.

I'll be waiting for the PS5 upgrades/versions before I even play them, worth the wait.

This page has changed the initial statement from Ubisoft from PS5 which runs at "4K and 60fps" and Xbox Series X at "4K at 60fps".

I womder if Watch Dogs will have a 60fps mode, or Valhalla a 30fps mode?

It's interesting that they appear to have two different performance targets, despite both being open world Ubisoft games.

Dont 'at' me it s just funny 😀.

They have quietly snuck into first place in my collection by releasing games that suit my preferences for exploration and a little grind.

Fenyx rising looks good and I want to try it on ps5, but not at full price.

The only Ubisoft games I like are the Far Cry games.

Screw 4K - I just want skippable cutscenes.

I have bought watch dogs and assassin's creed on PC already

Luckily for me the most awaited games for this end of the year are not sony exclusive

It will be interesting to see if it's deliberate and as you suggest meaning that PS5 can't do 4k 60fps on these games or whether it is just a different choice of words

There’s real concern that MSs dead controller will hold back this feature on third party games just like it has motion controls

Tempest 3D sound is like any other 3D audio tech (like Dolby Atmos for example), just with many many more points at which sound can be felt to originate

Each description has varying wording but its probably just so its not the same statement repeated

Its still going to have HDR in both, just holds peoples attention more if you arent rinse and repeating the same statement

Plus its previously been confirmed Valhalla will run 4k/60 on both

Surely Watch Dogs Legion is crying out for HDR with it's ray-traced neon streets

Like I said, read carefully the full statements from Ubisoft games such as Watchdogs Legion, AC Valhalla, Immortals Fenix Rising, Riders Republic, etc

and you'll notice how intentional it is not just being used from a single of these titles
