Watch Dogs: Legion update addresses a number of issues

A new update for Watch Dogs: Legion is going live today that aims to fix a number of bugs on all platforms.

According to the patch notes, this update addresses issues with players infinitely opening ETO safes, players spawning with no characters following a game over in permadeath mode, and a black screen occurring when opening hidden doors. Other changes include a crash fix for the Inside Albion mission, a fix for a crash when quitting the game on PlayStation 5, and lighting getting overblown during the day on PC.

One thing that is not addressed in this update is the save issues on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. Ubisoft explained that the development team has “identified the underlying cause and is working on an additional fix for this specific issue.”
