Previously, the game only hit 30 fps on Xbox Series S, with variable success reaching 60 fps on Series X and PlayStation 5. The update adds a performance mode option to AC Valhalla that prioritizes framerate and a quality mode that locks it at 30fps, but boosts resolution.
Xbox Series S automatically gets set to quality mode, while X and PS5 are set to performance. These can be changed manually, however.
The update addresses a number of issues, from duplicate gear and texture glitches to bigger problems, including screen tearing on Xbox Series X|S and problems with save/load data.
The update is set to go live at 7 a.m. EST on all consoles and PC and ranges from 2.5 to 5 GB depending on the console. Ubisoft listed the full set of patch notes on its website.
