The year 2026 promises to be marked by several price increases in the video game sector, but certain PlayStation Plus subscribers can still benefit from significant advantages at no additional cost.
Sony continues to regularly enrich the catalog of its service. This week, a major game joins the library accessible to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers. This is Assassin’s Creed Unity, an emblematic episode of the famous Ubisoft franchise which now benefits from a notable technical improvement.
Assassin’s Creed Unity comes to PlayStation Plus
Originally released in 2014, Assassin’s Creed Unity takes place during the French Revolution and features the character Arno Dorian in a particularly detailed version of Paris. The game has joined the PlayStation Plus catalog for Extra subscribers and above, allowing it to be downloaded at no additional cost.
This arrival is accompanied by an unexpected update. Ubisoft has in fact added a 60 frames per second mode which significantly improves the fluidity of the game. This technical improvement allows the title to be rediscovered in better conditions, particularly on modern PlayStation consoles.
A 60 FPS update that surprises players
The update sparked a lot of reaction from players. Many say they are surprised to see a title released more than ten years ago still benefiting from technical improvements. Some fans also revived the game’s cooperative multiplayer mode, a feature that marked the originality of Assassin’s Creed Unity upon its release.
One player explains: “For those wondering, I confirm that multiplayer works! I’m currently playing with a full team of 4 and I only waited 30 seconds!” This return of multiplayer shows that the community continues to be interested in the game despite the years.
Ubisoft has already improved several games with 60 FPS
The Assassin’s Creed Unity update is part of a series of technical improvements made by Ubisoft to several of its older titles. Over the years, the publisher has added 60 FPS updates to many games in its catalog. Among the titles concerned, we find in particular:
-Assassin’s Creed Unity
-Assassin’s Creed Syndicate
-Assassin’s Creed Origins
-Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
– Far Cry 3
– Far Cry 4
– Far Cry 5
– Far Cry Primal
– The Division
-Ghost Recon Breakpoint
A game long criticized but now appreciated
When it was released in 2014, Assassin’s Creed Unity received a lot of criticism, mainly due to technical bugs present in the original version. Faced with negative reactions, Ubisoft even offered free downloadable content to players and compensated Season Pass holders with an additional game. Over time, however, the perception of the game has evolved. Once the main technical problems were corrected, many players recognized the quality of its universe and its artistic direction.
One fan sums up this feeling: “Compared to the previous installments in the series (Black Flag/Rogue), the leap forward is simply colossal. Even the next game, Syndicate, was significantly reduced in size, and in some areas even degraded. Unity is truly unique in this regard, a glimpse of what the next generation could have been.” Today, the addition of the game to the PlayStation Plus catalog offers a new opportunity to discover this episode in a different light.
