Ever since Ubisoft pushed a surprise PlayStation 5 update for Assassin's Creed Odyssey — allowing the PS4 game to run at 60 frames-per-second on Sony's current-gen console — fans have been wondering whether Assassin's Creed Origins will get the same treatment. Odyssey's update arrived back in August, so what's the hold up?
It's getting to a point now where Ubisoft can't mention Origins without fans clamouring for that sweet 60fps. Every time the game is referenced through official social media accounts — whether it's to highlight fanart, cosplay, or anniversaries — there are always a number of fans asking where the update is, even though Ubisoft has never promised anything.
Origins is regarded by many as the best open world Assassin's Creed game. Out of the new trilogy — that's Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla — Origins is the least removed from the traditional Assassin's Creed formula, even though it introduces a lot of RPG elements. Its recreation of ancient Egypt is also quite stunning.
We certainly wouldn't say no to a 60fps patch for Origins — it's got to be one of our favourite Assassin's Creed games — but we're sure it's not as easy to implement as it sounds. We'd speculate that Odyssey got an update because a decent number of people are still playing it, and we would assume that it's still making money through various microtransactions. Origins was never designed to be quite so 'live service' as its sequel, so maybe that's why this update hasn't happened yet.
Would you boot Origins up on your PS5 if it was updated? Back Bayek in the comments section below.

Aw man, the subtitle got a little chuckle out of me. Well done.
It’s a really good game actually but nothing could make me go back after having to 100% literally everything for the platinum 😂
There is an excellent bundle sale on the store right now for Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla. I’ve been hovering over it daily as I’ve been looking for an excuse to take the plunge. Origins is the main draw for me. For whatever reason, a 60fps update to Origins would result in my money in Ubisoft’s pocket.
I got SO EXCITED when I saw this article… I’m sad now
Overated almost to the point breathe of the wild is. Harumph
I have yet to play the dlc for it, so I am thinking of replaying it from the beginning. Having just recently bought a PS5, it would be awesome to start playing this with the improvements.
Yeeees. When the Odyssey 60fps came out I just couldn't wait for Origin's turn and played it last week. But I did save the DLC for later, so I'm still hoping for a patch.
I would definitely purchase and play the dlc if this happens.
@munkholt @blkmagic316 You're in for a treat with the DLC when you do eventually play it. Curse of the Pharaohs is probably the best expansion in the series, incredible settings and some awesome fights.
I haven’t played this in a few years so am ready to dive back in if they do release a 60fps patch. Unlike Rockstar, Ubisoft usually give the players what they want so I reckon it will happen.
I'm thinking about replaying the franchise in the next year or so. Hopefully it gets a patch by then. Definitely the best AC game in recent years
@blkmagic316 The DLC is brilliant. Better than the main game.
I just can't go back to AC titles. They take sooooo long. I am at 120 hours in Valhalla, and whilst i love it i cant see myself returning to it. Same with origins, particularly after literally wasting hours of my life walking in the desert to see the random mirages to get the platinum
I would absolutely play it again on ps5, if it would get together with a high frame rate mode psvr2 support.
Loved Origins the most out of the trilogy - probably because I love the setting. Odyssey is also great. But no matter how hard I try, I still cannot get into Valhalla. For me, it’s too removed. Enjoyed the prologue quite a bit but then just don’t care for the kingdom building style going forward.
Anyway, I’d love a 60 FPS update on PS5 or Series X.
I'm not big on AC games, honestly, but I wish developers would do more to support their games on current-gen consoles. It blows my mind that games like Hollow Knight, Tomb Raider, and Journey are locked at 1080p, and games like Gravity Rush 2, Crash Bandicoot, The Last Guardian, and Concrete Genie are locked at 30 fps. All of these games should be running at a flawless 4k 60fps, or at least 1440p 60fps, on the PS5. It's an absolute shame, really.
Is it even that hard to just unlock it? Seems lazy to me
You know, the title makes it sound like there’s a just one guy out there who won’t stop clamoring. C’mon guy, give it a rest.
@Nightcrawler71 They also take ages to fix progress killing patches, release/rush broken games.
@Ultrasmiles@B_Lindz Gravity Rush 2, The Last Guardian, Concrete Genie all quite niche games with low returns. Journey fantastic game but is it being sold enough for the developer to put extra money and resources in it.
I love these games but i totally understand that they dont feel the need to put in the effort and money. The games work and are polished enough.
Thats another thing you cant expect every developer to put in the effort with next to no returns. I alwaus get annoyed that people act like that they have a duty to update it for free.
I'd like to think the priority should go to getting Syndicate to work properly on a PS5 since that game clearly doesn't agree with the PS5 architecture in some sort of major way but that's just my opinion.
Yup I’d happily start it again and probably buy the DLC as well. Amazing game
Would rather these AC fans actually beg for Syndicate to be fixed on PS5 and 60FPS for a what needs it like Unity.
I really hope we get the 60 FPS patch. Origins is absolutely better than Odyssey in every way. Origins might be one of my all-time favorite games
@Boucho11 yep it has one of my favorite DLCs ever in a video game.
Perhaps, just once, clamour for a new game? Crazy I know, but they did used to make them!
I believe that late 2022 it will be fixed, not ready but fixed
And late 2023 will ready.
I still have the game sealed since launch and i can wait, no rush, take your time but fix it
yeah i got a PS5 now would start again didnt finish on PS4
@Flaming_Kaiser "you cant expect every developer to put in the effort with next to no returns"
Well said! If it's an easy patch without breaking any core code then fine - if it requires a rework of core timings or graphical resolution/texture updates over a 2017 PS4 game then you're less likely to get one, even less so if the developers have been disbanded or are now working on something else that will get them revenue.
@sanderson72 I think we are spoiled. Its with free to play games, music, movies we all expect to get everything for next to nothing and we still expect to get the best.
Thats why the free to play crap bleeds in all the games. Monetization, cut up games no complete games for its not worth it. We get insane qmounts of games and i hear it right we finish very few games. Its now quantity over quality.
I have no idea if its no work on Xbox to do the upgrades so i cant talk about that. But on other platforms its work for no next to no returns.
If Origins gets a 60 fps update o would no doubt play that game all over again
@Dreman99 I most definitely agree
I've never played Origins, been waiting for a 60 fps patch!
I have been wanting to play it again this last year but I thought I should wait in case an update for ps5 drops. So yes, I will put it in my ps5 the next day a patch is realise
