Nine years after its release, Assassin's Creed Syndicate is returning on PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S with a free update that allows the 2015 game to run at 60 frames per second. The result isn't perfect, as the frame rate didn't seem flawless to us on PS5 Pro, but it's a nice move by Ubisoft, which has already updates older games in the series to run at higher frame rates. Let's hope that Unity will one day get the same treatment because it's clearly a game that deserves it as it had top-notch lighting when it came out. As for Syndicate, it sure didn't manage to live up to the same visual standards a few years later, but it's still an old-school Assassin's Creed that we enjoyed back then. Beware though, the game clearly shows its age at 4K on PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X. Draw distances are pretty limited compared to what we can see in open world games today, pop-in and aliasing issues are also hard to miss, which proves that we've come a long way since then.
