Overview
- The v1.0.6 update, which rolled out on August 4, is a roughly 5GB PS5 download that targets platform stability and gameplay polish.
- Players can now hide Edward Kenway’s blowpipe from the outfit menu using the new Hide Gear option, a frequently requested cosmetic toggle.
- The patch increases autosaves from five to ten and fixes crashes, animation and camera bugs, quest progression issues, UI text and missing audio to make reloads and quests more reliable.
- A Sony‑specific fix restores PSSR2 support on PS5 Pro for users who began progress on a base PS5, addressing a cross‑hardware compatibility problem.
- The update follows earlier hotfixes after a strong commercial launch and comes as debates continue over day‑one paid DLC, live‑service features and proposed layoffs at Ubisoft Barcelona that have prompted staff action.
