Watch Dogs: Legion is due to launch tomorrow, but anyone planning to play the game on Xbox One X is advised to wait until at least Friday to boot up Ubisoft's game.
As Eurogamer reports, there's a game-breaking bug in the Xbox One X version of this latest entry in the action-adventure game. Between six and eight hours into the single-player campaign and during a mission fittingly called "404," the Xbox One X will pop up a message warning players the console is about to shut down. The reason? Overheating.
The game is being released for PS4, Xbox One, Windows, and Stadia tomorrow, but the overheating problem seems to be limited just to the Xbox One X. Ubisoft is aware of the issue and has promised "there will be a hot fix due to be released on 30th October which should help." That's not going to help Xbox One X owners tomorrow, although they should be able to enjoy the first few hours of the game at least.
As Ubisoft has apparently recommended the Xbox One X as the preferred platform for reviewers to experience the game, this may result in a few reviews being delayed. Eurogamer has already stated its review will be held until after the hotfix has been applied and the difference it makes assessed. If you're planning to pick up one of the next-generation consoles, Legion will be available at launch for both the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
