Watch Dogs Legionrecently launched Title Update 4.0, and to celebrate Ubisoft released the first entry in a new blog series called “Tea Time With Bagley” yesterday. Thefirst major post-launch update inWatch Dogs Legionincluded a host of content as part of a roadmap for the game released this March, but Ubisoft’s blog post also delves into future plans - including a 60 FPS performance mode on next-generation consoles.
The recentWatch Dogs LegionTitle Update was delayed in April, instead releasing May 4. Yesterday’s Tea Time With Bagley offers a deeper look at features added by this update such as operative profiling, improved bios, and a “Friends Only” mode for co-op missions. It also includes an interview with character technical director Kieran O’Sullivan about the game’s new character customization options.

However, the end of the post looks at what’s next for Title Update 4.5, which will largely fix a number of bugs associated withWatch Dogs Legion’s Mina, a character added in 4.0. Ubisoft details a few of these fixes, from players being able to use her Mind Control ability on NPCs that should be off-limits to Mina keeping all of the weapons that a mind-controlled character held. A long-awaited performance mode for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X users is also teased to be coming with the next update afterWatch Dogs Legion’s next-gen 60 FPS mode was teased in a Reddit AMAlast month.
Fans of the latestWatch Dogstitle can also expect the game’s second Tactical Op, Project OMNI, when Title Update 4.5 releases. No information about when the next update will release is provided, and it is currently unclear whether Update 4.0’s delay will affect the “late May” window set byWatch Dogs Legion’s roadmap. More may be announced when the Tea Time With Bagley series returns in two weeks.
Though Sony and Microsoft’s next-generation consoles have more power than any prior devices outside of high-end PCs, many games releasing on the systems have typically focused on delivering either better visuals or a better performance. For example, Capcom’sResident Evil Villagealso has performance and resolution modes, prioritizing higher framerates or features such as ray tracing, respectively.
Given how much time Ubisoft spent working on larger additions like online multiplayer inWatch Dogs Legionfollowing its somewhat rocky release, it will be interesting to see how the public at large responds to a next-gen performance mode once it arrives. In the meantime, the developer has also been open to working with its community, evenapproving a fan-madeWatch Dogs Legionworld customization mod.
Watch Dogs Legionis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
