Ubisoft has released patch 4 for Assassin's Creed Unity on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Patch 4 was originally due for release on Monday, but was delayed so that Ubisoft could work on additional improvements. This patch is mainly focused on alleviating performance issues and improving the overall experience.

The patch is a whopping 6.7 GB and Ubiosoft explained why the need for such a large patch.

"Part of the team’s effort to enhance frame rate for players involves replacing and updating portions of the Paris city map where we are seeing issues. This explains the large size of this title update (6.7 GB). However, since a large portion of the patch replaces existing files the net increase to the game’s overall size will be less than 6.7 GB."
