Watch Dogs: Legion online has more problems. Just ahead of its release date – Watch Dogs: Legion online goes live March 9 – Ubisoft has announced that the co-op online multiplayer part of the latest Watch Dogs title will not be released. available at launch on PC due to issues with “dedicated GPUs”. That’s also true for the iconic mode, Tactical Ops, which was postponed until March 23rd. In addition, there are problems with in-game text chat on the PS4 and PS5 versions of Watch Dogs: Legion, and a solution for this will also fall on March 23 alongside Tactical Ops. Overall, it is not rising well.
“We’ve seen the excitement of new soldiers in London when we launch the online mode of Watch Dogs: Legion on March 9,” Ubisoft said on the game’s Twitter account on Saturday. “Before we launch, we want to make you aware of a few things that have come to our attention.”
Watch dogs: The Legion Online is out March 9. Here’s what you should know
“We have identified an issue in the PC version that could damage the game for players with specific GPUs. The team is working to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

It’s strange that Ubisoft says these problems have “just caught our eye” because Watch Dogs: Legion online has been experimenting for a while now. Slate was released in early December, but then in November, Ubisoft chose to delay it until early 2021 to prioritize arrangements for a single-player campaign. In addition to internal testing, Ubisoft conducted technical tests with reporters in January, and for the public in a closed environment in February.
Nonetheless, it seems much more likely that Ubisoft is aware of these issues and hoped that they would be removed before March 9 comes around. But that did not happen, which is why it has been postponed again. Of course, that is just profiteering.
This optional delay makes Watch Dogs: Legion a less relevant experience at launch, for those who can play. Tactical Ops is the main offer, as I said, denying you the best Watch Dogs: Legion online has to offer for at least two weeks. And if you were hoping to jump in with your PC friend – Watch Dogs: Legion has cross-platform gaming support – no word on how long you would wait.
Watch Dogs: Legion is online March 9 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S / X, Stadia, and Amazon Luna.
