AC Black Flag Resynced Update 1.04 Available to Download Now
Ubisoft has released update 1.04 for Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, the PS5 remake's first major post-launch patch, now available to download. The update focuses on fixes, tweaks and stability improvements rather than major new content, addressing a wide range of technical and gameplay issues reported since launch, which matters for players keen to enjoy the game without bugs interrupting their experience.
The patch is a 2.44GB download and covers save/load errors, localisation issues in Simplified Chinese, Italian and Arabic, dubbing and cutscene syncing, lighting problems, and a PC-specific bug locking cutscenes to 30 FPS on custom graphics settings. It also fixes numerous gameplay glitches, including ship-clipping while swimming, harpooning lock-ups, disappearing ships during Jackdaw upgrades, and various world, UI, visual, audio and quest-related bugs. Push Square, which awarded the remake 8/10, notes there is nothing especially major among the changes beyond general performance and stability gains.
In short
- Update 1.04 for AC Black Flag Resynced is out now on PS5
- 2.44GB patch fixes save/load, localisation and gameplay bugs
- Focus is on stability and performance, not new content
Explained simply
Assassin's Creed: Black Flag is a popular video game made by Ubisoft, originally released years ago on older gaming platforms. Resynced is a newly developed remake that rebuilds the game for PlayStation 5, the latest gaming console from Sony. Remakes allow developers to update and improve older games for new hardware.
Video games often encounter technical problems after launch, as bugs emerge through players' actual gameplay rather than being found during development. These issues can range from minor visual problems to more serious glitches that affect how the game runs. Developers fix these problems by releasing patches, which are free software updates that all players can download.
Ubisoft's update 1.04 follows this standard practice, addressing various technical issues that players have encountered with Resynced since its release. These updates help ensure that players can enjoy the game without interruptions caused by bugs or performance problems.
