If I'm not wrong Ubisoft BC enhanced games can still run on external HDD, you no need to waste the SSD space. I have Odissey on ps5 and I played it at 60 fps with my old HDD.

First thing I noticed was how long it took to load on my PS5. Not horrible, but noticeable.

Eer I could be wrong, but I don't think such update it's about faster loading times.

Did they say the load times would improve?

Don't think so. I don't recall reading about anything other than frame rate. Was just hoping load times would be better and I think they are, but I started to get used to very short load times.

No, still not live on Series X, at least for me. (US east coast).
The patch in general is not about load times, but the native SSD makes a huge difference in load times regardless.
If you're going from XBO generation to the new consoles, you will immediately notice a massive difference.
PS5 load times might be longer than Xbox here as we've seen that most enhanced BC games, that are't native apps, load slower (Nier Replicant etc).

This update doesn't specifically target loading times, correct. But games don't need specific enhancements to see noticeable load speed improvements, on Series X at least.
Yeah, this is what I remember being the case. I don't play on PS5 so I don't have any first hand experience with it. On Series X the difference is night and day on all games.

I just timed it on my PS5 after closing and reopening the game. Time from selecting continue on previous save to fully loaded was 29.50 seconds. Wouldn't call that bad, but obviously newer game load times are much much faster.
Edit: Tested on PC with Samsung 980 Pro PCIe 4.0 drive and it was 25 seconds.

Load times on PC are severely hampered by the Denuvo copy protection. Some cracking crew stripped that out a couple of years ago and it lowered load times by more than half if I remember it right.

I just realized I made the mistake I always make. I just reinstalled the game and timed the loading. First time loading is always longer on PC. I quit the game and tried again. This time the game loaded in 12.53 seconds.

AC Origins in 4K, 60 FPS, 1/5th of the load times and quick resume.

Looks great on PS5 as well. Looking forward to another Platinum hunt.

To people who didn't think this game could run at 60fps on XSS. Looks like new ground was broken!

The version will change to 1.60 and you will immediately notice the frame rate improvement, even in the main menu. The cursor was 30 FPS before, even the menu cursor moves at 60 FPS post-patch.

Anyway Origins had a lower resolution on One X than Odissey, maybe it's that the reason.

Some were surprised to see it reach such lofty heights.
I'm thinking some must think the XSS is similar in capability to the Switch because of their similar price points. Got to spread the news. XSS has the same CPU as PS5 and XSX believe it or not.

Even though they play almost identically, Odyssey had a bunch of QoL improvements over Origins that I'm sorely missing, especially having put 100+ hrs into Odyssey after its patch late last year.
Ah well.
At least post patch the game runs amazingly well. There is some minor stutter in the cut-scenes, but the game play has been super consistent.

Thanks, I asked because I saw no new settings. But mine is on version 1.6.

Yeah this patch just makes it 60 FPS, there's no toggle or anything new added in the settings menus.

I'm lucky that I can't remember much about Odyssey so I'm really enjoying Origins. Although I do remember the loot pulse being better in Origins. I will be playing Odyssey again next though. Hopefully get both of these finished before Valhalla comes on PS+.

For those who have played both Origins and Odyssey, some questions:
I enjoyed my time with Odyssey, but never finished it; it was somewhat too big and I am not a fan of enemy level scaling at all (it makes me feel as though I'm not getting any stronger, if the baddies also get to attend Monster Gym).
So ... is Origins a bit more manageable, when it comes to time? Also, is there enemy level scaling (or can it at least be turned off?)

You can turn enemy scaling off.
And this game is smaller in scope than Odyssey for sure. The world is generally much smaller and most of it is filled with desert anyway.
They *REALLY* went ham in terms of throwing in a massive world and content in Odyssey.

Odyssey and Origins are the same when it comes enemy leveling. I'm not a fan of it either and
Odyssey is definitely a longer game especially if you want to complete it and assassinate all the Cosmos members. I believe Odyssey's map is about 2 and a half times the size of Origins, but that is probably because Odyssey is located predominantly in the Aegean Sea versus Origin's mainly desert locale. Odyssey definitely expanded on a lot of what was done in Origins so you may find Origins to be tighter, more compact experience.
Oh.....you can turn it off? That's good to hear.

There's an option in the settings you can toggle that can make it so the enemies either scale to your level or not.
Not sure if that's exactly what the user is asking for, but that's what I'm talking about as level scaling.

Yeah, you are right. I just checked the Gameplay section in the Options. Enemy Auto-level. "Automatically scale lower level enemies to around your level". For me, it is defaulted to off.
First I'm hearing about it, but this is a welcome option.

Origins is a lot smaller, has much more quality content and the least amount of filler content of the post-Syndicate ACs. So hop in. The world they crated here is soooooo beautiful. Compared to it most of Odyseey and Valhalla seems like straight out of a random generating program. The world of Origins acutally looks handcrafted. It's amazing.

you know when it runs at 60fps... I think that's a dead giveaway

What a difference 60 FPS makes... I tried the game a couple of weeks on my PS5 and the 30 FPS killed it for me. Now it runs buttery smooth.
Also one thing I really like about this game: When you walk slowly the camera begins to zoom in on you. It almost gets to a point where the camera is as close as in God of war. This way you can see all the little awesome details of your armor. As soon as you start moving fast again, the camera zooms back out. Really cool little camera effect.
