Assassin’s Creed Origins Update 1.4.0 Available Now

Ubisoft has released the newest update for Assassin’s Creed Origin, 1.4.0; it is available to download on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC now. The new update adds support for the upcoming Curse of the Pharaohs expansion, and also adds a bunch of fixes to the games, including a multitude of bugs that players had encountered as they made their way through the massive systemic open world RPG.

You can check out the full patch notes below- the new update continues cleaning up the game, which was unfortunately very buggy at launch, but has since gotten far better.

In spite of the bugs, Origins remains a game you should play- it rethinks the Assassin’s Creed series as an action RPG, and is the freshest, most compelling title in the series since at least 2013’s Black Flag (which, ironically, was by the same director). It is available now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
