Watch Dogs: Legion release time

Watch Dogs: Legion only has one release time – it will be released at midnight local time in every country on October 29! We hope you are ready to recruit anyone to fight against the powers that want to take over London in the near future!

Will there be cross play?

Watch Dogs: Legion will have crossplay at launch when it comes to PlayStation, Xbox One, and PC on October 29, 2020. Ubisoft is merging Uplay and Ubisoft Club into Ubisoft Connect:

"an ecosystem of player services for all Ubisoft games on all platforms."

Ubisoft Connect is free to play and will launch on the same day as Watch Dogs: Legion, which means that from day one, no matter where you play it, you'll be able to play on both PC and console.

Will it have cross-save?

Watch Dogs: Legion will get cross-save from day one, as Ubisoft Connect goes live on the same day. So if you're playing on your PC, want to move to a more comfortable place, say the couch, and play it on the PlayStation 4, your saves will carry over from one platform to another.

Ubisoft even supports next-gen consoles, so any progress made on your PlayStation 4 will carry over when you fire up Watch Dogs: Legions on your PlayStation 5 when it releases in November. This also applies to Xbox Series S/X.

Does it support cross generation?

Watch Dogs: Legion will support cross-gen at launch, meaning if you buy the PlayStation 4/Xbox One version, when the next-gen version is released for the PlayStation 5/Xbox Series X, you can upgrade your PS4 / Xbox One version at no extra cost!
