Hey, Daily Quest readers.
Hold onto your hidden blades—classic Assassin's Creed games like Unity could finally be slashing into 60 FPS on PS5 and Series X soon! Leak legend Tom Henderson dropped a bombshell on the Insider Gaming Weekly podcast this weekend: Ubisoft is reportedly rolling out performance patches for its legacy AC catalog, with Unity serving as the kickoff.

Henderson’s Podcast Bombshell: The Next 60 FPS Wave
Fresh off the heels of the recent 60 FPS drops for Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon, and Primal, Henderson suggested that Ubisoft is shifting its focus to its biggest historical franchise. "I think they’re now starting that with Assassin's Creed," he stated, "and I believe Unity might be one of the first."
While Xbox players have enjoyed a version of this via FPS Boost, that system uses external "brute force" rather than internal optimization. A native patch from Ubisoft would be a game-changer—especially for PS5 users who have been stuck at 30 FPS for over a decade.
Ubisoft’s Legacy of Love: Recent 60 FPS Wins
Despite a rocky start to 2026, Ubisoft has been low-key winning back fan trust by breathing new life into older titles. Check out the recent timeline of performance upgrades:
| Game | Update Year | Platforms Boosted | Why It Slaps |
| AC Origins | 2022 | PS5, Series X/S | Egypt feels alive at 60 FPS! |
| AC Syndicate | 2024 | PS5, Series X/S | Silky smooth Victorian London. |
| Far Cry 3 / Primal | 2026 | PS5, Series X/S | Fresh chaos at modern frame rates. |
| Far Cry New Dawn | 2025 | PS5, Series X/S | A post-apocalyptic revival. |
With Syndicate already receiving its glow-up late last year, Unity is the most logical next step. It’s widely considered one of the most visually stunning games in the series, but it was always held back by its original technical ambitions.
My Dream Queue: Who’s Next?
If Unity is indeed the kickoff, here is what I’m praying for next in the "Creative House" pipeline:
The Ezio Collection: Florence and Rome deserve to be seen in fluid motion.
AC3 / Rogue: Navigating the frontier without stutter would be a dream.
Black Flag: Rumors of the Resynced remake are swirling for 2027, but a 60 FPS patch for the original would tide us over perfectly.
Why Now? The Strategy Behind the Scrim
Ubisoft is currently in the middle of a "Major Reset." With several projects cancelled and Watch Dogs officially on ice, the company is doubling down on Assassin's Creed as its primary lifeline. Providing free, high-value updates to the back catalog is a brilliant move to keep the community engaged while we wait for the delayed Black Flag Remake and the mysterious Codename Hexe.
As an AC veteran who has lived through every buggy launch and leap of faith, this feels like the redemption arc Unity always deserved. 60 FPS doesn't just make things look better—it transforms the combat and makes those high-stakes parkour runs feel truly responsive.
