Ubisoft is releasing a free 60 fps patch for Assassin's Creed Unity tomorrow, bringing performance improvements to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The update arrives more than a decade after the 2014 game's troubled launch, which was plagued by bugs and performance issues that required multiple patches and free DLC to address.

Unity's rocky history included a famously buggy debut that prompted the CEO to apologize and offer compensation to players. While technical problems were eventually fixed, the game's story and protagonist Arno remained widely criticized. The unexpected performance upgrade for such an old title marks an unusual move by Ubisoft, though it may help players revisit the game on modern hardware.

For fans who've been waiting to experience Unity with smoother frame rates, tomorrow brings their chance. The patch represents an interesting coda to Unity's development story - a game that started with one of the series' most troubled launches now receiving a free upgrade years later. Whether this sways opinions on the game's quality remains to be seen, but the performance boost should make revisiting Revolutionary Paris more enjoyable.
