Its on all systems as far as I'm aware, I have the save bug on PC. The auto save saves out of sequence, mixes up the temp save file then writes it to the main save file corrupting it, it could happen after an hour of play or after 80 hours.

this guy from the ubi forums breaks it down and shows how the game destroys itself.

Edit: Looking at the forums the ps4 & ps5 seem to not suffer from this... my bad

SullysCigar1679d ago

It's starting to feel a little bit like, with Xbox trying to move ever closer to all things PC, they might be inheriting the common PC day one issues too.

The devs, in an interview, praised their 'Xbox Development Manager' who worked alongside them to deliver the best experience they could on the new Xboxes.

They also pulled an all-nighter to make sure they were happy with the Series X version specifically (as was confirmed on a video), the very night before launch. In the same video they claimed there was no issue with tools or time scales.

Xbox were obviously tickled pink by the devs achievements, as they gave it the 'Optimized for Series X' stamp of approval and listed Dirt 5 under that section on the Xbox website. Here's Xbox's explanation as to what that means:

"The Optimized for Xbox Series X|S icon means the developer has done the extra work to take full advantage of the unique capabilities of Xbox Series X|S. Games featuring the Optimized for Xbox Series X|S icon will showcase unparalleled load-times, heightened visuals, and steadier framerates at up to 120FPS."

Something is off and we need to stop with the 'dev tools' excuses, as debunked by the Dirt 5 devs. Microsoft held their hands on this one and we still ended up with a mess that works fine on PS5.

The fact they held off for so long before showing ANY Series X footage of games is starting to become clear - they've obviously got pretty big problems here. Add to that the first game they were confident enough to show that was confirmed to be on Series X hardware was...Dirt 5! and the mind boggles as to what's going on right now with other games in development.

MrDead1679d ago

This issue is 100% Ubisoft, the problem is the way the auto save works (or doesn't). They screwed up on a very basic level and is shocking they even released it because there is no way this wouldn't of shown up in testing. I have this same issue on PC

If you click on the link in my comment above you can see in pictures and read the breakdown on how the save file corrupts, like I said the issue is so basic it's almost unbelievable that Ubisoft didn't know before release

SullysCigar1679d ago

Don't get me wrong, I can accept dev/quality control issues happen (don't even get me started on Ubisoft lol), but again, if you check the Xbox website, you'll see Watch Dogs Legion proudly listed under 'Optimized for Series X'.

This makes it a shared responsibility in my view. Less marketing blurb, more testing, or your seal of approval means nothing. We're already seeing that this is the case.

Psychotica1678d ago

I haven't had the issue on the PC yet but thanks for heads up. I just made a backup copy of my game save folder.

Chocoburger1677d ago

Don't be shocked that Ubisoft knowingly rushed out a broken game prior to Black Friday. That has been their M.O. for over a decade now.

explain to me how saving game progress is NOT a basic feature, but a feature related to:
Unique Capabillities of S/X
Load-Times
Heightened Visuals
Stadier framerates up to 120FPS

?

Edgelordsupreme1677d ago

Sully is just a fanboy his input on anything isn't really relevant or worthwhile.

Kitt921678d ago

Wouldn’t be a Ubisoft game without bugs

Kados1678d ago

Headline is misleading. Ubisoft is working on a patch for it that they plan to have out in early Dec.

MrDead1678d ago

They've been working on it since release, the last patch was meant to fix this.

mafiahajeri1678d ago

Too bad you cant hack the game and fix the bug.

Watch Dogs Legion Receives Mysterious New Update After Ending Support Two Years Ago

Over two years later, Watch Dogs Legion has gotten a surprise update on the day of The Game Awards.

northpaws567d ago

New ads? I kid I kid.

I do appreciate Ubisoft's keep making single player games, but hope they can learn from some of the best open world games in the industry and evolve, I don't really like their recent games, but I don't want them to go away either.

Profchaos567d ago

I hope they learn from wd legion don't build a fanbase then use that fanbase as guinea pigs to test out a new idea on a sequel.

Who am I kidding it's ubi the whole franchise has probably been put on ice because of this failed experiment

Hypnofear567d ago

Which is a shame because Watch Dogs 2 was actually really good!

Ironmike566d ago

If they just left with the Kames bond like char ter in the beginning I'd loved it

The entire WatchDogs series is 87% off and it's not even Black Friday

Holy crap, R&C Rift Apart is a huge score for those who haven't played it! It was so good.

just_looken779d ago

i agree though I don't have a ps5 but i will activate this when the prices get out of apple range.

outsider1624779d ago

Well lets hope its soon, because you never know when the game will leave psplus.

DivineHand125779d ago

I don't think it is fair to compare the PS5 to apple prices since an iphone hasn't been at $499 since the original iphone launched.

One thing I can say at your benefit though is that in gaming then longer you wait to buy, the better the deal, though if you wait too long your backlog will get out of control.

LordoftheCritics779d ago

Rift Apart is the best chill game I've played this gen.

System seller on PS Plus is a huge win.

roadkillers779d ago

I think you can redeem over your phone, no? When you get a PS5 you will have games.

MasterChief3624779d ago

A huge score for those of us that didn't just buy it literally one day ago and it's on the way now :'(
But I guess it's good to own it, as well! And I don't think I want to get PlayStation Plus right now, so it's not a huge loss. But it is still a little saddening.

I got my PS5 today, actually! Been wanting to play Rift Apart for so long. And I played Astro's Playroom at a friend's house, and that was when I was like, "I NEED THIS." Such a fun little game with so many wonderful references to Playstation stuff!

Anyways.

lukasmain779d ago

You could just re-sell your copy that is coming in the mail. But it's up to you. Rift Apart is so damn good. It blew my mind how good it looks and plays.

Dirty_Lemons779d ago (Edited 779d ago )

I hope you love it, dude. Nothing beats a shiny new console, and the PS5 is 👌 May I recommend Returnal, challenging but not Soulsborne-level challenging, and extremely good making use of those new haptics you're going to be playing around with.

Tapani779d ago

Hey I'm a relatively new PS5 owner here, but how does this new PS Plus system work? So if I go in at the Premium level for a month, it would mean I can play Horizon 2 and Ratchet & Clank just like that, right?

closed_account779d ago

Yea, you don't even need to sub Premium if those are the 2 games you're after, they're included on PS Plus Extra.

Premium just adds the legacy library of PS1, PS2, PS3 titles that are on the service.

lukasmain780d ago

Played and platinumed Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart at launch. Loved it so much. 9/10

Am I going to download and play Bus Simulator 21? You bet :-D

lukasmain779d ago

Was just thinking I wish Bus Simulator was PSVR 2 compatible. Imagine looking over your shoulder at the passengers you pick up? Haha

*turns head around while driving*

"Shut the Fk up back there!!!! You want me to crash the bus?!?!?!?!!"

Davros69779d ago

haha, you sound like an Aussie

MrNinosan779d ago

Have to download it as well. Is it compatible with wheel?

lukasmain779d ago

Yeah apparently it's compatible with a fair few wheels. Game has been out a while.

just_looken779d ago

Yeah the vr experience on playstation continues to be crap compared to pc sadly.

Bus sim 21 vr on pc
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

And do do that well its on pc duh crap $700 console should do vr on alot more than select titles

lukasmain779d ago

PS VR2 is actually really awesome man. I have one. It's only new, so maybe I will wait for Bus Simulator 21 to get a VR update then. Judging by that video, the game looks fun in VR

just_looken779d ago

I doubt it will look at psvr 1

Dandalandan117779d ago

Will definitely download Bus Simulator as well.
My son will surely have a blast with it.

meanmallard780d ago

PS Plus IS the best gaming subscription.

S2Killinit779d ago

It really is the best way to go.

crazyCoconuts779d ago

For a lot cheaper than the other guys even

PhillyDonJawn779d ago

102 games aww that's cute 🤭

Petebloodyonion779d ago

Well technically the best deal remains by far EPIC games free offering since well it's free but aside that it's a hell of deal :)

andy85779d ago

Its funny, a few months ago this would have got so many down votes but it probably is now, the Extra/Deluxe service is flourishing. Even a day one game this month is added

andy85779d ago

@phillyDonJawn that's games added, not total. PS sub has more games on it than Gamepass but keep reaching 😂

lukasmain779d ago

@ PhillyDon, lol there are something like 534 games on PS Plus Extra right now. That is not including PS Plus Premium

ModsDoBetter779d ago

Seriously didn’t even realise how good the PS offering was.

I’m on the highest tier but the only things I gravitate toward are the two monthly games.

It was only recently that I found how to properly browse the PS+ section on the dashboard and there’s a ridiculous amount of high quality content on there.

I own a good amount of them either physical or digital but still a great selection.

Crows90779d ago (Edited 779d ago )

Yup. Ps extra is cheaper than gamepass ultimate as well...until those quality Xbox 1st party start actually kicking in ps+ is the most affordable and highest quality service.

I'll be trying out legion and humanity for sure.

MasterChief3624779d ago

So how does it work? Are these all available now? Or is it a rotation system? I literally only got my PS5 today and am a bit of a newb of this console generation.

lukasmain779d ago (Edited 779d ago )

These are all available right now I'm pretty sure. But I will post the actual lists of games. You will know in advance if anything was to be taken off this list too. A good time in advance.

PS Plus Essential (lowest price) - is the normal PS Plus and you get games every month. Here are the games for this month...
https://www.pushsquare.com/...

PS Plus Extra (mid price) - Is same as essential, BUT has all these extra games from this list, except for the PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP games, (there aren't that many). More releasing every month. Here is all the games from PS Plus Extra
https://www.pushsquare.com/...

PS Plus Premium - same as essential and extra. But has all the PS1 and PS2 and PS3 and PSP games. More games releasing every month. Here is the list of games from this one...
https://www.pushsquare.com/...

Glad you got a PS5. It's a good investment. So much to play and so much to come. Have fun man

Ps5conehead779d ago

These are available may 16th

meanmallard780d ago

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Is fantastic, I can't recommend it highly enough.

Even though you have never heard of it it went on to sell well over a million copies.

meanmallard779d ago

If even one person reads this and plays it and has half as much fun as I did I'll be super happy.

jznrpg779d ago

I own a physical copy good game
