So, Watch Dogs released earlier on this week – on Tuesday, May 27 – and it has been reported that players were experiencing a lot of issues regarding the game’s online functionalities.
Due to massive server overload, many of Watch Dogs‘ online services have been hindered and taken temporarily offline for maintenance. However, as the week as gone on, Ubisoft has reported that they are “seeing improvements.” Unfortunately, due to the severity of the matter, not all issues have been rectified.
Nonetheless, Ubisoft is still making progress in making sure that Watch Dogs’ servers will run smoothing. As reported by Game Zone, here’s a small recount of the studio’s efforts.
