Alex Battaglia of Digital Foundry writes, “Thursday’s 1.0.4 patch for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the first big update for Ubisoft’s latest massive open worlder – and a crucial one, delivering a vast array of gameplay improvements and bug fixes, but of course, the Digital Foundry focus is more on technical validation for what has been the most contentious of the next generation launch line-up. For all of its spec advantages, Xbox Series X ran with a performance penalty against PlayStation 5, while Xbox Series S launched without the signature next-gen 60fps support. The 1.0.4 patch aims to address of all of this – and indeed, it does – and also adds a 4K30 quality mode too.”
