Ubisoft has released a 10 to 15 GB update for Watchdogs: Legion that provides numerous fixes. Ubisoft is also adding a closed technical test into the game so its development team can gather data from players for the forthcoming online mode to ensure service stability and a smooth experience when it rolls out. Its release date is unknown. Title Update 3.0 is coming to consoles later.
