Ubisoft has announced a delay for the PC version of Watch Dogs 2.
The game will now launch on November 29th, for PC. Watch Dogs 2 is still launching across PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on November 15th.
According to the developer, the game had to be delayed on PC because it needed extra time to so “that Watch Dogs 2 runs smoothly across a broad range of hardware, as well as add that extra polish to those features which matter the most to our community.”
The PC version of the game will naturally run better than its console counterparts, with improvements like:
General
- 4K support
- Stuttering/lag framerate optimization – We made all controls much more responsive and less framerate-related. We’ve optimized resource creation, GPU VRAM upload and required VRAM for the game.
