Update [Tue 19th Nov 2024, 2:58pm]: The 60FPS update for Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is now available on Xbox Series X and Series S! There’s also a new trailer to accompany the launch, which we’ve added at the top of this article.

Original Story: Yes, it’s finally happening! Ubisoft has announced today that Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will be getting a boost to 60 frames per-second for free on Tuesday, November 19th, and it’ll be available for both Xbox Series X and Series S.

The update will be a whopping 31GB on Xbox (compared to less than 1GB on PS5!), and will bring the Series X version up to 4K, 60FPS and the Series S version up to 1080, 60FPS. Here’s what Ubisoft had to say about it today:

“Revisit the Assassin fantasy and take down your enemies more smoothly than ever on Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s free 60 FPS patch. Roam London’s streets in a whole new light and elevate your gaming experience with doubled framerate on Xbox Series X|S, PS5® and PS5® Pro.”

“In addition, take a leap into a visually stunning experience thanks to 4K resolution on Xbox Series X, PS5® and PS5® Pro.”

By the way, this isn’t a return of Xbox’s FPS Boost program or anything – it’s separate to that. Ubisoft has created this update and is pushing out the 60FPS improvement on their end. It’s also obviously not applicable to Xbox One users.

If you haven’t played Assassin’s Creed Syndicate and now you’re eager to check it out, the good news is that it’s discounted by 75% in the Xbox Black Friday Sale 2024, bringing it down to just £7.49 / $8.99 as things stand.
