A lot of eyes are currently on theAssassin’s Creedfranchise. Not only is the franchise celebrating its fifteenth anniversary, but a showcase about its future is slated for September. At the same time, severalAssassin’s Creedgames are rumored to join the PS Plus Extra service this month. And all of that as conversations aroundAssassin’s Creed Black Flagkick up aroundSkull and Bones’ reveal, while some fans are still asking Ubisoft aboutAssassin’s Creed Syndicate’s PS5 performance.
It should be noted that the aforementionedPS Plus Extra rumoris said to only include some games coming this month, yetAssassin’s Creed Syndicateis not listed on there. This may be because fans knowAssassin’s Creed Syndicatedoesn’t play well on PS5. Neither Ubisoft nor Sony would want to release a game with performance issues on the service, but it could happen down the line if Ubisoft fixes it.

Namely,Assassin’s Creed Syndicatesstruggles from a graphical and technical standpoint when playing it on PS5. Fans have been asking Ubisoft to fix this, with the company recently responding. Specifically, it stated that “the team is aware of some visual issues inAssassin’s Creed Syndicateon PS5 and working on a fix as soon as possible. We don’t have any updates just yet, but please keep an eye out for news on that.”
Perhaps strangely, Ubisoft Support has recently deleted this message, although it should be noted that this is not a new response. Ubisoft Support has been saying this for a few months now, with a couple of tweets on the matter also appearing back in February 2022. It’s definitely strange, but it should be noted that even a company as large as Ubisoft has finite resources.
For example, despite fans begging forPS5 and Xbox Series X upgrades ofAssassin’s Creed Origins, it took months for Ubisoft to deliver. So, it’s not strange that a fix forAssassin’s Creed Syndicateisn’t available yet, but deleting the latest tweet regarding the matter is a bit odd. It’s an older game, meaning support for it may not be as high a priority as other items. It’s likely that the fix is still in the works, at the very least.
Either way, when Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is fixed, it seems like a safe assumption it could come to PS Plus Extra.Ubisoft’s reveal in Septemberabout the future of the franchise, after all, is likely to encourage some fans to revisit older games.
Assassin’s Creed Valhallais available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
