Ubisoft has confirmed an update for Assassin’s Creed Unity that will allow players to enjoy the game with enhancements on Xbox Series. The patch will arrive on March 5th, coinciding with a promotion that will let players try the title for free for several days.

The news comes as part of the Xbox Free Play Days program, which allows players to try out several full games on Xbox consoles for free every week. In this case, Ubisoft will take the opportunity to showcase several games from the Assassin’s Creed saga.

Assassin’s Creed Unity will receive an update for Xbox Series

The update will enable the game to run at 60 frames per second on Xbox Series, offering a much smoother experience than the original Xbox One version.

In reality, Xbox players could already play Assassin’s Creed Unity at 60 FPS thanks to the Xbox FPS Boost system, which automatically improved performance on current consoles. With this new patch, Ubisoft is adding native support for that performance, something many users had been waiting for.

For now, the studio has not confirmed any other significant changes. The game originally ran at 900p on Xbox One, so it remains to be seen if this update will include additional resolution improvements or minor visual tweaks.

It will be playable for free on Xbox for several days

Coinciding with this update, Assassin’s Creed Unity will be part of the Xbox Free Play Days, allowing players to try out the full game for free for a limited time.

• The promotion will start on Thursday, March 5th and will let players explore 18th-century Paris throughout the weekend. Ubisoft has also announced that other games in the saga may be included in the promotion, although not all titles have been confirmed yet.

For those who didn’t play it back in the day or want to revisit revolutionary Paris, this week may be a good opportunity to rediscover Assassin’s Creed Unity with smoother performance on current Xbox consoles.
