Overview
- Patch 1.0.6 deployed on Tuesday, August 4, 2026 and is available across PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S with download sizes that vary by platform.
- The headline player-facing change lets users hide protagonist Edward Kenway’s blowpipe through the outfit menu, making the weapon cosmetic only and not altering combat.
- The update doubles autosave slots from five to ten and restores a missing tutorial that teaches the game’s 'Throw Money' distraction mechanic.
- Ubisoft published extensive notes listing fixes for gameplay, quests, UI, audio, localization and visuals plus a Sony-specific PSSR2 support correction for PS5 Pro users.
- The patch continues rapid post-launch support for a remake that has sold millions of copies, and the publisher is managing these updates while some Ubisoft Barcelona staff oppose proposed layoffs.
