The news comes straight from European console owners who have been trying to upgrade their last-generation versions ofAssassin’s Creed ValhallaandWatch Dogs Legionup to their current-gen versions. It seems that this issue stems from the physical version of the game, as one user started a thread saying they were unable toupgrade their physical version ofValhallaafter putting the disc into their PS5 console. Unfortunately, it seems like the prompt to receive the free upgrade for the game isn’t showing up at all for some users.
It’s worth noting that this has developed into a larger problem on PS5. Many users have taken to social media and public forums to vent their frustration with PS5’s lack of clarity when it comes to what version a certain game is.PS5 and PS4 game confusionis causing a lot of players to spend time downloading last-gen versions of games on PS5, resulting in a lot of annoyed console owners online. However, this issue with Ubisoft’s two titles doesn’t necessarily seem to be strictly related to the PS5’s lack of version clarity.
Thankfully, Ubisoft caught wind of the issue and was able to provide a fix and step-by-step instructions to help users upgrade their games. The instructions for how to upgrade Valhalla and Legion’s last-gen versions will be available at the bottom of the page. While the issue is no doubt frustrating, Ubisoft’s instructions should hopefully help players upgrade their games. There is a pretty longlist of last-gen titles getting free upgradesbut unfortunately, it seems that Ubisoft’s two main games are the ones giving players the most trouble.
Though both the Xbox Series X andPS5 were able to launch successfullythis year, it wasn’t without its fair share of hiccups. From each console’s pre-order debacle to the various hardware issues some owners are reporting, it seems that not everyone has had a smooth transition to next-gen. Still, both Sony and Microsoft are hard at work making firmware and software updates to patch out some of the more annoying issues that console owners are having.
