Assassin’s Creed Unity 60fps update reportedly also includes a hefty resolution bump

Ever since the launch of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Ubisoft has slowly but surely updated a large majority of its last-gen titles with support for higher framerates on current hardware. The most recent title to receive such a benefit was Assassin’s Creed Unity. Interestingly, while the update only advertised a boost to 60fps, fans have noticed that the title appears to also include a couple other notable enhancements.

Following the surprise release of Assassin’s Creed Unity’s 60fps update, fans have been checking the title out and noticed that the game’s visuals appear much sharper than expected.

For context, the original AC: Unity ran at just 900p on last-gen consoles, and so it was expected that this would remain the case. That said, while not confirmed, many users have since claimed that the game is running at resolutions far exceeding the aforementioned 900p.

Unfortunately, it’s not all good news, with a similar issue seen in AC: Syndicate’s current-gen patch finding its way into Unity – that being the fact that cloth physics are still limited to 30fps. Given that the playable characters themselves are dripped out in various cloaks and hooded outfits, the disparity between the 60fps world and 30fps physics can be distracting.

Still, this update has been long-awaited, and with the game seeing more than just a 60fps boost, playing Assassin’s Creed Unity on current-gen consoles should be a rather refreshing experience.
