- A surprising 60FPS update for “Assassin’s Creed Syndicate” on contemporary consoles was issued by Ubisoft.

Almost ten years after its initial release, Ubisoft has surprised everyone by releasing an update for “Assassin’s Creed Syndicate” that improves the game’s performance on contemporary platforms.
With the currently available update, the 2015 game may now run at 60 frames per second (FPS) on the Xbox Series X, PS5 Pro, and PlayStation 5 with 4K resolution. Users of the Xbox Series S can experience more fluid gameplay at 60 frames per second and 1080p.
Set in 1868 London during the Industrial Revolution, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate was first made available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. As twin protagonists Jacob and Evie Frye, players fight the Templar-controlled elite and support a resistance organization known as the Rooks.
The game is notable for its dynamic open-world exploration, which includes rich Victorian London metropolitan vistas, horse-drawn carriage chases, and a rope launcher that is strapped on the wrist for quick movement.
Compared to the original console versions, which were limited to 30 frames per second and 900p resolution, the update marks a substantial improvement. The PS4 Pro and Xbox One X’s mid-generation hardware upgrades merely brought the resolution up to 1620p while keeping the framerate cap in place.
Players on modern consoles may now enjoy Syndicate’s universe with more fluidity and clarity thanks to the new patch.
While Xbox users will need to set aside roughly 31.8GB, PlayStation users will only need to download a small 0.75GB patch. All current game owners can download the update for free. Additionally included in Ubisoft+ memberships is Syndicate, which is currently offered for $8.99 on the PlayStation Store and Microsoft’s Xbox Store.
Syndicate is still a fan favorite because of its captivating plot, endearing characters, and intriguing historical setting, even though it wasn’t the most highly lauded game in the Assassin’s Creed series.
