Considering Ubisoft promoted the game by "hacking" its own titles in-store, the game releasing with such a major bug could work against the company even more than a less important release. That's not a shadow any game wants to have over it, especially not one of Ubisoft's star titles. The bug is consistent, hitting many players every time they attempt the mission and completely locking them out of earning any of Watch Dogs: Legion's achievements.īecause Watch Dogs: Legion releases tomorrow, there's a good chance many players will experience this bug on the game's launch day.
Said bug takes place during the story, and only hits at a certain point, once players reach a mission called "404." Once reached, the game freezes, the Xbox One X overheats, and sometimes shuts down.
It seems that the bug only affects the Xbox One X, not the PC or PS4. To reassure players, Ubisoft has issued a statement saying it will fix the bug in a hotfix on October 30th. However, because of when it was discovered, this has not affected Watch Dogs: Legion's reviews too much. The bug causes the Xbox One X to overheat in a major way, growing noticeably hotter than any player wants it to, despite the Xbox One X being the "recommended platform for review" by Ubisoft. Now, just as it's lifted, a problem with Watch Dogs: Legion has come to light, as a bug in the game causes serious problems with the Xbox One X. These reviewers have had plenty of time to get through the game and write up reviews, but until recently, a review embargo was in place. The official scheduled release for Watch Dogs: Legion is tomorrow, but reviewers have already gotten their hands on copies. That's good, because unlike those titles, it looks like current gen may not be enough to handle its power. Along with Ubisoft's other titles, Legion will have a next gen update.
