Watch Dogs multiplayer has been discussed in detail by Ubisoft’s Jonathan Morin on Twitter, confirming that 8-player free-roam applies to the whole of Chicago, among many other things.

It follows this explanation from Morin that Watch Dogs multiplayer invasions will not disrupt your solo campaign progress.

MP1st has collated some of Morin’s jucier tweets, starting with this confirmation about the scale of Ubisoft’s free-roam playground:

For fans of convenience, Morin explained the simple process of starting a free-roam session:

@MrCHeard @Hurricane4343 No lobby. You go in the map, switch to the grid & there you can send a request & play while it process. (3 inputs)

As for how you appear to other players during invasions, Morin explained:

@KuochuanPonzio If they chose to customize their "online appearance for other players" yes.

Regarding mini-games like poker and such, they won’t feature in free-roam:

@Im_render Its not personal :). No we don't support MP for these mini-games.

Finally, when asked if Aidan’s slow-mo skill will work in PvP invasions, Morin clarified:

@_TheDerpSquad_ The helpers and visual still apply but not the slow-mo.

Watch Dogs will release May 27 on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
