6.7 GB Assassin’s Creed Unity patch set to fix the game’s framerate issues

After being delayed a day, Assassin’s Creed Unity’s massive 6.7 GB “Patch 4″ is set to land on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 (and the PC later this week), on Tuesday.

Ubisoft explained why the patch is so large in a recent post on Assassin’s Creed’s official website.

“Part of the team’s effort to enhance frame rate for players involves replacing and updating portions of the Paris city map where we are seeing issues. This explains the large size of this title update (6.7 GB). However, since a large portion of the patch replaces existing files the net increase to the game’s overall size will be less than 6.7 GB.”

According to Ubisoft the patch fixes Unity’s performance issues related to framerate as well as issues with singleplayer to multiplayer matchmaking. Full patch notes can be found here.

Ubisoft has released a number of Unity patches since the game’s launch on Nov. 11, fixing issues like matchmaking and connectivity problems. However, many players are still encountering significant performance related issues in Unity.

Last week Ubisoft apologized for Assassin’s Creed Unity’s issue and promised to give anyone who paid for Unity’s season pass a free game. In an update today the developer stated the free game offer will be available by Christmas.

Assassin’s Creed Unity’s first downloadable content pack, Dead Kings, will also be free to anyone who purchased the game.
