Finally! Watch Dogs: Legion supports 60FPS on Xbox Series X|S, after months of fans campaigning for it. Not only that, but Title Update 4.5 brings a huge range of bug fixes, add-ons, and updates to sink your teeth into.
So without further adieu, here's the full list of everything included in Watch Dogs: Legion Title Update 4.5:

Well... I already beat the game so i will be waiting for the DLC to come out before i put this back on.
Will be waiting for the inevitable Digital Foundry analysis before buying!
Can't believe it's taken over 6 months from launch for cross-gen multiplayer and 60FPS mode.
About time! Now I need to finish Mass Effect trilogy, only then I’ll pick this game up. Already own it, but have refused to touch it until a 60fps mode was added.
Tried it briefly on my Series S, Wow the game looks so much better at 60fps! Amazing
Does 60fps mode disable Ray tracing?
@Nightcrawler71 Yes
