Ubisoft has released an update for Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, which was originally released in 2015. The update, released for the PS4 version of the game, aims to fix flickering issues when playing the game through the PS5’s backwards compatibility feature.

The update, dubbed Title Update 1.53, doesn’t really add any new content to the game. Rather, it was an interesting move by Ubisoft to make one of its older games more easily playable on a current platform.

The flickering issues fixed by the update were reportedly making Assassin’s Creed Syndicate almost unplayable on the PS5. The problem seemed exclusive to the PlayStation platform, however, as no such issues have been reported for the Xbox release of the game.

Ubisoft is currently working on a number of upcoming Assassin’s Creed titles, including Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Assassin’s Creed Codename RED, and Assassin’s Creed Codename HEXE. The company is still supporting its previous major release, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, with smaller updates that fix issues.

Ubisoft is also slated to be present at E3 2023, where the company will undoubtedly show off its next releases.
