Watch Dogs Legion patch notes detail save issues fixes on Xbox One, but not on Xbox Series X and S

The latest Watch Dogs Legion Patch notes are in, but if you're expecting it to address the save corruption issues on Xbox platforms, you'll be disappointed.

Over on the Ubisoft forums, a community manager for the company posted the patch notes for Watch Dogs Legion in full. "We wanted to highlight that the Xbox Series X/S save issues are not addressed with TU2.30 but the dev team has identified the underlying cause and is working on an additional fix for this specific issue," the post reads. "We will keep you posted on when we this will be released."

There are, however, a ton of fixes for both the Xbox One and Xbox Series X versions of the game. There's optimisations made to the former version of the game to prevent the save corruption issue, as well as three fixes to prevent crashes in certain areas.

On the more general side of the patch, there's a fix to prevent an exploit for obtaining money through ETO safes, as well as a fix for an issue where players would respawn without any playable characters after a Game Over on the Permadeath mode. There's also a fix for a bug where players were able to change the difficulty of Watch Dogs Legion from the game's main menu.

Previously, the Xbox versions of Watch Dogs Legion have been hit with a wave of issues, including a bug that forced consoles to shut down. Additionally, the save corruption issue is still ongoing on the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S versions of the game, but it's promising that Ubisoft has identified the issue, and already patched it out on the Xbox One version.

The Xbox version of Legion might have been hit by this issue, but PlayStation players have encountered an issue where they can't upgrade Ubisoft's game to Sony's next-gen console. Despite promising a free upgrade system from the PS4 to the PS5, some players are finding they can't upgrade their copy of Watch Dogs Legion, and Ubisoft is investigating the issue.
