Update: We now have word that the update will be arriving on June 1, along with cross-gen play and a ton of other new features.
Original Story: Ubisoft announced back in early April that Watch Dogs: Legion would be getting a much-requested 60fps performance mode for Xbox Series X and Series S, and now it'll officially be implemented with the game's next title update.
Arriving as part of title update 4.5, the 60fps performance is described as "one of the biggest requests from our next-gen console players," with Ubisoft stating that the team is "very excited to bring this to the game."
"TU 4.5 also brings the Tactical Op, Project OMNI, as well as one of the biggest requests from our next-gen console players, 60FPS performance mode. We’re very excited to bring this to the game!"
"You’ll be able to read full list of TU 4.5 fixes and improvements when we release the patch notes closer to launch."
Until now, Watch Dogs: Legion has only been able to run at 30fps on next-gen consoles - even on Xbox Series X - although it does support ray tracing in its current state. We're assuming the performance mode will switch this off.
Excited to try Watch Dogs: Legion at 60fps on Xbox Series X & S? Let us know down in the comments.

I might actually buy the game when this update drops.
Should have been there day one like all the other next gen Ubisoft games that have had 2 different modes.
Should have been there at launch and there's absolutely no excuse for it
Bought the game second-hand for $20 couple months back. Haven’t touched it yet, was waiting for this specific update. Glad to see it’s finally on the way!
what about cross-gen multiplayer? i only have one friend with a Series X and 4 or 5 with Xbox One but when we tried the free weekend we couldnt play together? terrible
Wonder how 60fps will run on Series S? presume 900p without RT
Will keep an eye on this to see how it runs with RT on. If it’s still 30 or will see an increase.
Xbox killing it with these next gen enhancements..
how many times does this need to be announced?why couldnt the news be dropped when the actual update is too??
@Bmartin001 They are, but this will be on both Xbox and PS5.
Might give this a go when it launches. Available pretty cheap already like so many Ubisoft games.
I thought this was already out back in, like, February.
