Ubisoft Is Working On Fixing Next-Gen Upgrade Issue

The PS5 has been out for several weeks now, but many players are still experiencing problems upgrading from the PS4 versions of Ubisoft games like Watch Dogs Legion and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

However, this issue is only affecting those who own physical copies of either game. The free upgrade fails when inserting the disc, despite the fact that they should be eligible. Players have been voicing out their frustrations on Twitter and Ubisoft’s official forums.

It is only now that the company has finally acknowledged the problem publicly for the first time. In a tweet earlier today, Ubisoft stated that it’s working to resolve the issue.

We are aware players in the UK are experiencing issues upgrading physical versions of some Ubisoft games from PS4 to PS5. We're working to resolve this, and can confirm anyone experiencing this issue will still be eligible for their free upgrade. Stay tuned for more information.

Unfortunately, there’s still no word on when a fix might arrive. In a similar case, it took Ubisoft two weeks to release a patch that finally resolved the corrupted saves issue that plagued Assassin’s Creed Valhalla since launch.

Let’s hope it’s sooner rather than later.
