Assassin's Creed Origins is getting 60 FPS support on PS5 and XSX/S starting June 2
you must be the most funniest guy in your house hold , anyway , I rather would have a pop up explaining it updated and that the game now runs 60 Hz default, that would be a good UX, I didn’t boot into the game .. as I had no time , also not that sensitive to 30 or 60 frames , but I prefer 60z

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Like I suspected, same as Odyssey, as this is just an FPS boost patch, Series X inherits the higher resolution from One X and load times are faster on Xbox as well.
Yep the camera is so much better and immersive than the one of Odyssey

Yeah its still a BC+ title so Xbox versions generally do better due to inheriting X1X settings and their BC solution being slightly better so the SSD gets utilized better.

This is a game I was super excited for and enjoyed, but never beat. Will definitely revisit it at some stage.

Took them 2 years to release a back compat patch? Why? This is ridiculous. I expected 4K 60 max settings at minimum.

Ok high settings native 4K. How hard is it to unlock resolution? PS5 can easily handle that.Thoughtyamaci17 already covered that pretty well....
On PC in ACValhallia for example: [but pretty much any game has this simple same line]:
How different is it on console? On pc it takes ~20 seconds and they couldn't do it in 2 years for a console patch? Must be very hard work? I wouldn't know fyi, just very interested.

No idea. I’m happy with just the frame rate patch myself. Wish more publishers would get on board doing this.

Cross progression as well? It seems it wasn't on Ubi+ but maybe with Gamepass it's possible if it does use that platform for saves.
It's the same game, just enhanced on XSX. The save carries over.

This game has dynamic resolution, so now on XSX resulution is much higher (2160p) compared to Xbox One X (1800p most of the time). It looks like XSX GPU is over 2x GPU faster compared to Xbox One X GPU, because it can run AC origins with 2x framerate and it still has power left to increase resolution.

Ah I see, that's not what I was asking; I was wondering if I could play it on XSX and PC with cross-save.

It's incredible how this meme started by the psfan at the beginning of the generation, still hurt so much in some people to reuse it even for obvious and expectable results like this update.

It's all started at the beginning generation. People expected Series X destroyed ps5 on multiplat and it happened the contrary. Some psfan create such joke. Now every time Series X outperforms ps5, xboxfans resuse such meme as a sort of revenge, though it's weird see to use it from the same side who thought it's the normality for series X outperforms ps5.

What does any of this have to do with fps boosted last generation game dude? Maybe you take this stuff way too seriously. This surely hasn't impacted your love of the PS5 has it?
oh no on PC it's all uPlay so it's a separate system. not xbox live

It's probably very similar on console.Ok high settings native 4K. How hard is it to unlock resolution? PS5 can easily handle that.

I remember Cyberpunk did exactly that. If you imported xbox series save from PC, it also IMPORTED YOUR GRAPHICAL SETTINGS !!! Digital foundry covered it and it was really interesting.
I think that stuff like changing resolution and fps is probably legit 1 week of work. You submit new .ini file as a patch to sony for validation and that's it.
It is 100% mostly just a business decision to sell some more units.
Of course there are games with hard coded 30 animations or hard lock. Like bloodborne where it is more work than flipping 0 to 1.
But for these popular games that are on all the systems? I bet my ass it is just switching 30 to 60 in .ini

We're really getting a raw deal as owners of these new next gen consoles. Actually, at least Ubi has made some effort towards updating their games for 60 fps, most 3rd party devs have done fuck all to patch their games.
I too thought that most games released in the last 4-5 years would be optimized by now for 4k/60 (dynamic 4k if need be) but so many games are stuck at 1080p/30 still. Considering how little effort it takes in the grand scheme of game development I think it's bullshit to have so little to show for this new hardware. When you consider we're getting cross gen games instead of actual next gen games it further angers me that devs wouldn't want their fans/customers to at least be able to play their games at 60 fps at 1080p.
This is especially bullshit when it comes to huge titles like Red Read Redemption 2, dishonoured 2, far cry 5/new dawn or games that are live services like Fallout 76 or games that were released right before the launch of the ps5/series x like Mafia 1 remake.
If it wasn't for the SX doing its FPS boost it would be more glaringly obvious how little effort has been made. There are still so many xbox one games that are stuck at 720-900p even which is really sad. Also, MS shutting down their Back Compat program makes no sense.
We've gotten used to such a lack of effort on the part of greedy publishers and lazy companies that many people think these optimizations are this huge favor to us console gamers that I bet a lot of people reading thus comment will think I'm being entitled but I don't think so. Studios are making record profits, PC has had these optimized settings for years, it's past time that console gaming catches up in this area. Sony and MS want total integration between PC and Console, we spent the extra money to upgrade to "next gen" but we're not getting that next gen treatment on several levels.
You might say Sony and MS have "no control over what 3rd parties decide to do" but even that isn't accurate. If Sony and MS really wanted to they could incentivize publishers to optimize their games in various ways. MS already does this with GamePass. Console gamers simply don't demand enough from them, unlike PC audience, so in turn they can get away with holding back features.

I love that in these new AC games you can just run into story enemies randomly on the world map without any objective tagged.

It's infuriating to me to think of how much I've spent on ps4/xb one games that are now stuck at 1080p/30 when we finally have the PC-like hardware capable of optimizing those games at relatively little expense to publishers.
MS shutting down their BC program also is quite upsetting considering the strides they were making in terms of fps/resolution boost AND the fact that they sold the Series X, in part, on the premise that it would be able to upscale old games! It's great that they did the 100 or so games that got fps boost but it SUCKS that they just shut down that program with no explanation as to why. Even while they were doing the FPS boost on games they seemingly stopped caring about resolution boosts. Actually the amount of games that got resolution boosts is a rather paltry amount, basically just original xbox games with a few 360 games.
wdym no explanation why? They said it's because they exhausted all options basically. The remaining games either don't work using the FPS boost technique, they don't have permission from the publishers, or there are licensing problems.

Totally agreed. Ubisoft needs to give Ghost Recon: Wildlands a 60fps patch for Xbox Series S/X and PS5.

Wildlands, Watch Dogs 1 (needs resolution and fps), watch dogs 2, far cry 4/primal, fc5/new dawn, ac unity/syndicate, and they really should've released fc3 "classic" and recently blood dragon at a reasonable resolution at 60 fps.
Imagine a publisher Ubis size releasing Far Cry Blood Dragon at 1080p/30 fps on next gen consoles in 2022?

They said that? I don't recall but I believe you. I still think they could've kept working on resolution bumping games if they hit a wall with the framerate stuff ..

Music to my ears. Honestly this will probably be my last AC and I played them all up until and including syndicate. They're just too big and I don't have time.

Their efforts seem completely arbitrary. Although I suspect there is higher likelihood of micro transaction sales on the ones with the 60fps treatment me thinks. Can it be confirmed or denied?

Both Origins and Odyssey have the option to pay $10 to increase rate of XP and in-game currency, so that is a possibility. I don't think games prior to Origins had that option.

Changing values is indeed a couple of seconds but the game must be thoroughly tested to ensure it's stable. That take time. A lot of time in case of a big ass open world game like Origins.

Origins only has money, no EXP boost IIRC.
But you don't need it.
If you have the season pass (or the DLC episodes), you can 'boost' your character to LV 45 shortly after starting so you're up to the content level anyway.

Here I am hoping that when it comes to PC Gamepass that it includes achievements. Not getting my hopes up....but damn it would be awesome to be able to boost my gamerscore with an additional 1500 points!

Do games on PC Game Pass sometimes not have achievements?

Most of them don't have achievements. Most (if not all) first party games do, as well as most Bethesda games that came out after last gen. Plenty do, but many do not.

I'd love to revisit this as the setting is incredible but I hit a point in the main story where the next quest was like 5 levels above the one I just completed meaning I'd have to go grind out 5 or more levels doing boring shite just so I can't continue the main quest and I just give up.. I hate when games do that, some games I just wanna play the main quest as the side quests are uninteresting especially with the cookie cutter shit that fills out the Ass Creed games.. and yeah the store had buyable xp boosters ffs, might redownload for a looksie see if it sparks anything in me

hello, game pass on PC acts as a licence check for Ubi games. Ubi Connect provides you the game, so in that extent, achivements will be on Ubi Connect
you can see that with rainbow 6 siege and extraction
