Check out our full written Watch Dogs review.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs will follow the increasingly common trend of offering a Season Pass for the bevy of downloadable add-ons the publisher has planned for the game post launch. For $20, Season Pass holders will receive all the available content currently planned for the game, as well as a few exclusive extras.

The list of confirmed content you’ll receive includes:

  • All-New Single-Player Story: Take on the role of T-Bone, a brilliant but eccentric hacker who lives by his own rules.
  • Conspiracy! A new Digital Trip game mode that lets players hunt down cyborgs in this mind-bending alternate game universe.
  • Exclusive Untouchables Pack: Pay homage to the classic Chicago mobster film with a M1 SMG weapon and a 1920s mobster outfit. In North America, the Untouchables Pack will only be available through Season Pass.
  • More stuff: More single player missions, weapons, and outfits.
  • Discounts: Save more than 25 percent over the individual downloadable pack prices.
  • Early access: Season Pass holders get one-week early access to all included Watch Dogs add-on content.

The exclusive Untouchable Pack and the early access should be enough to convince those of you on the fence about the Season Pass to shell out the $20. The game is scheduled for release on May 27, 2014 on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. A Wii U version is scheduled for later in the year, but may not get the Season Pass feature.

Watch Dogs: Legion’s online mode delayed to next year as Ubisoft focuses on bugs
Watch Dogs Legion Team

Ubisoft is delaying Watch Dogs: Legion's upcoming multiplayer mode until 2021. The studio says it will focus on fixing the game's technical issues, starting with a major patch next week.

The online update was set to launch on December 3, and would have added co-op missions and competitive modes to the game. It would have been Watch Dogs: Legion's first major content drop since the game's release in October. Ubisoft says the mode will now launch in early 2021 but no specific date was given. The news comes just after the game's price has dropped to $30 at some retailers ahead of Black Friday.

Here’s how to get Watch Dogs 2 on PC for free with Uplay
watch dogs 2 free uplay hackerspace

To help build hype for its recent Ubisoft Forward event, Ubisoft allowed viewers to claim Watch Dogs 2 for free. The catch? You had to log in to Uplay during the live broadcast. Unfortunately, the service was plagued with issues during that time, likely caused by an overload of users trying to access it. Ubisoft Forward passed with few users having redeemed the game.

Not wishing to add more bad press to the company's recent collection of terrible news, Ubisoft quickly announced it would allow Watch Dogs 2 to be redeemable by anyone that logged into Uplay after the event. To claim the game, you simply need to head to Ubisoft's portal and log into your Uplay, or create one if you're new to the service. And that's it! The game should appear in your Uplay games library. The operative word being should, as after claiming the game for ourselves, it is still yet to appear in our list of games 10 minutes later. However, when we reload the portal link, it simply states that we've already claimed our copy, so hopefully soon my Uplay account will update. We will make sure to update this article the moment that change happens.

However, that turned out to be a problem, with #CANTLOGIN flooding the Twitch and YouTube streams of the virtual event.
