Assassin’s Creed Origins recieved its first DLC, The Hidden Ones, this month. As players adjusted to the new features, Ubisoft took note of feedback and has just released a patch.
Update 1.2.1 has released today for Assassin’s Creed: Origins, weighing in at surprisingly different sizes for the different platforms. The size of the patch depends on the inclusion of The Hidden Ones, so the following sizes are with the DLC included. Xbox One’s patch is 2.6GB, while PS4’s weighs in at 2.5GB. Steam’s update is 3GB, possibly accounting for higher graphics options, which is nothing too surprising, but Uplay’s patch is a whopping 7GB for unrevealed reasons.
The patch itself fixes a number of small bugs, AI, and performance issues. But one notable upgrade the game received with this update is the additions made to Horde Mode. A number of players wanted more in this mode, and Ubisoft has reworked the progression system within it and now allows players to advance past wave 16.
Assassin’s Creed: Origins is out now, as well as the DLC The Hidden Ones, for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
The full patch notes are listed below:
