PlayStation 4 owners can get an early look at it Watch Dogs 2multiplayer modes, while Xbox One online features will be activated before Wednesday.
Released for PS4 and Xbox One earlier in November, Watch Dogs 2 is an open world action game that takes place in a virtual version of the San Francisco Bay Area. Like its predecessor from 2013. Watch Dogs 2 allows players to hack into nearby electronic devices and public infrastructure in their quest to undermine an intrusive city-wide surveillance program.
In addition to the single player campaign, Watch Dogs 2 promised an expansive online multiplayer mode that turns players into rival hackers and bounty hunters. Before launch Watch Dogs 2, however, pre-release players reported major issues with the invasion-based multiplayer game modes, resulting in heavy lag and crashes. Per day Watch Dogs 2 on store shelves, Ubisoft revoked players’ access to the included multiplayer modes, promising that fixes were on the way.
“Watch Dogs 2′‘seamless multiplayer’ will not be active at launch as it is not ready,” Ubisoft announced last week. “The team is working on a fix and we want to make sure the core experience is stable at launch.”
The fixes were apparently successful, as Ubisoft notes Watch Dogs 2multiplayer mode is finally ready for public display. Starting Tuesday night on all platforms, players will be able to invite friends to local co-op sessions, attack rival hacking campaigns and continue bounty hunting for extra cash.
While connected to Ubisoft’s servers, Watch Dogs 2 players will have to do their best to maintain low visibility. The publisher warns that if players cause too much chaos during Watch Dogs 2Campaign, the in-game San Francisco Police Department will issue an online bulletin for their arrest, and rival players who assume the role of bounty hunters will soon be in hot pursuit.
