Assassin’s Creed Unity New Patch Weighs In At 6.7GB, Improves Stability and More

Written by Brandon Hofer on December 16, 2014

News: The new patch that is currently rolling out for Assassin’s Creed Unity fixes a number of technical problems that people have been having.

A new patch is being rolled out today for Assassin’s Creed Unity and it is a sizable one. Weighing in at 6.7gb this patch will probably take you a while to download unless you have your console(s) set to download while you are away. If your console hasn’t downloaded the patch yet there isn’t anything you can do except be patient as it continues to go out to more and more people. If you own the PC version of Assassin’s Creed Unity you won’t be getting this patch today, however, Ubisoft has said that it is coming this week. This sizable patch does fix a lot of the technical issues some people were still facing with Unity. It should be noted that this 6.7gb patch doesn’t add on 6.7gb of data to Unity. Part of this update is replacing existing code so it isn’t necessarily adding on to the overall file size of the game, just replacing it with better code. The patch codes for this new update are below:
