Watch Dogs Legion has been updated to version 1.21 today by Ubisoft. You can find out the patch notes for this update from here.
There were some major issues with the game after the release of the Bloodline patch that brought back Aiden Pearce as a new character with his own story. It was set after the events of the original Watch Dogs. According to Ubisoft, there are some known issues since installing the title update 5.0 which added the Bloodline DLC support. These issues can be found below, and while we don’t have an official confirmation of what has been fixed, some of these could have been touched upon in the update today.
