Ubisoft has announced that a brand new update for Watch Dogs Legion will release later this week on the PC. According to the release notes, update 2.20 will add CPU optimization with the aim to increase framerate on high-end PCs in DirectX 12 mode.

Furthermore, this patch will fix a number of issues. For instance, it fixes an issue that caused the game’s framerate to drop significantly when looking at water or reflective surfaces. It will also fix an issue that could cause the game to crash under certain rendering conditions.

Additionally, patch 2.20 will add a manual Save button on the PC. Not only that, but it will also bring general stability improvements.

In other news, Ubisoft also announced that the game’s Multiplayer/Online Mode has been delayed until 2021.

Naturally, we’ll be sure to benchmark this performance update the moment it comes out. You can also find below the complete changelog for Watch Dogs Legion Update 2.20.
