Watch Dogs 2 just received a new update on PC. Update 1.09 offers a whole lot of performance and optimization related tweaks and fixes, but arguably the biggest one is the low memory optimizations that have been introduced, which should enable the game to run better (or at all) on lower end PCs.
That apart, there is support for DualShock 4 controllers, as well as a host of visual improvements, that this update also adds to the game. You can check out the full patch notes for update 1.09 for yourself below.
