Watch Dogs 2 Out Now on PS4 and Xbox One

Watch Dogs 2 Out Now on PS4 and Xbox One

The San Francisco Bay Area of Watch Dogs 2 is a huge open world filled with beautiful landmarks, unique neighborhoods, and numerous sinister forces using data to secretly exert control over citizens – and it can all be yours, now that Watch Dogs 2 has arrived on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. As Marcus Holloway, you’ll work to expose the bad guys and return power to the people by hacking, fighting, shooting, driving, and parkouring your way through the streets of San Francisco, Oakland, Marin County, and Silicon Valley.

Sunnier and more expansive than the first Watch Dogs, Watch Dogs 2 offers up an immense hacker’s playground filled with devices to manipulate and secrets to uncover. As you explore the world and take on the game’s multi-part story arcs – each of which is focused on taking down a different menacing entity – you’ll unlock new and more powerful hacking techniques that let you remote-control cars, climb up to the rooftops using scissor lifts, and even give every vehicle a permanent turbo boost. You’ll command drones and wield 3D-printed weaponry as you outwit crime syndicates and corporate security teams.

You’ll even be able to meet up with other players in your game world, at which point you’ll have the option to team up to explore and tackle co-op missions together or compete against each other to gather followers in Hacker Invasion and Bounty missions. However, Hacker Invasion and Bounty missions are currently unavailable due to an issue with Watch Dogs 2’s seamless multiplayer functionality. The full statement from the team is below:

During the pre-launch phase of Watch Dogs 2, we were disappointed to discover an issue tied to the seamless multiplayer feature that caused the game to lag and crash periodically. In order to eliminate that issue at launch, and for players to enjoy a smooth game play experience, we have decided to wait to launch the seamless multiplayer feature so it would not impact the core gameplay experience.

To be clear, players can fully enjoy the entire single-player experience without any concerns. Additionally, co-op is still fully functional by inviting friends through the game menu. However, the Bounty-Hunter mode and other activities that would occur with other outside players who enter your game will be unavailable until the issue is resolved. We truly appreciate the patience of our player community.

Watch Dogs 2 is now available in stores or as a digital download on consoles (with PS4 Pro support included in the PlayStation 4 version), and is coming to PC November 29. There’s a big world out there just waiting to be messed with, so get hacking. For more information on the game, check out our previous coverage:
