PlayStation-specific items include PSSR and crash fixes, while the broader bug list covers interaction, mission, and visual issues across the game. If PC stutter or frame drops persist after 1.0.6, continue using Ubisoft's Bug Reporter entry ACBFR-2850 as the support route.

July 22, 2026 — Title Update 1.0.5

Reported download sizes differ: DSOGaming measured about 183 MB, while Access the Animus reported 2.06 GB. Ubisoft describes this as a single-fix hotfix that alleviates stuttering experienced by some PC players and says it includes no other tweaks or fixes. There is no console version. If stuttering persists after updating, use Ubisoft's Bug Reporter entry ACBFR-2850 to add a report.

July 9, 2026 — launch

Resynced launched on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Launch reporting also documented the removal of the original multiplayer mode and first-person modern-day office sections, with the Animus Hub serving as the replacement live-content layer.

Patch and hotfix notes

Title Update 1.0.6 is the most recent numbered patch identified as of the August 5, 2026 source check. Ubisoft published the notes on August 3 and scheduled deployment for August 4, 2026 at 14:00 UTC, with patch sizes of 15.2 GB on Xbox Series X|S, 5.03 GB on PS5, 3.7 GB on PC, and 1.8 GB on Steam.

The clearest player-facing additions are Hide Gear / Show Gear for the Blow Pipe in the Outfit inventory and autosaves increased from 5 to 10. The PC-specific fix list also re-fixes cutscenes being locked at 30 FPS when Graphics settings are set to Custom from any Low preset, which is why older 1.0.4 workaround advice should now be checked against 1.0.6 first.

Title Update 1.0.5 remains the prior PC-only stuttering hotfix from July 22. Ubisoft described 1.0.5 as a single-fix patch that alleviated stuttering experienced by some PC players and included no other tweaks or fixes. Players who still see stutter or frame drops after updating can add a report to Ubisoft Bug Reporter issue ACBFR-2850.

For Title Update 1.0.4, Ubisoft's patch notes and the official Steam News post list the release time as July 16, 2026 at 14:00 UTC / 10:00 AM EST / 7:00 AM PST, with patch sizes of 2.44 GB on PS5, 2.7 GB on Steam, 3.71 GB on PC, and 15.35 GB on Xbox Series X|S. Its player-facing fixes include PC Custom-mode cutscenes, save/load issues, the Jackdaw disappearing when upgraded while docked, foggy weather, and several Fast Travel, Animus wall, map icon, aiming, parkour, and El Tiburon hint issues.

DLC roadmap and crossover tracker

At launch, Radio Times and Game8 reported that Resynced shipped without multiplayer and without a DLC roadmap. A Reddit discussion on r/pcgaming reflects the same player-facing launch understanding, but community discussion is supporting context rather than an official announcement. As of July 15, 2026, no announced DLC schedule should be presented as confirmed future content.

Crossover Projects Riptides and Undertow connect Black Flag Resynced with Assassin's Creed Shadows through Animus Hub rewards. They are live Project content, not evidence of a paid expansion roadmap. Track their availability in the Animus Hub guide and check each in-game reward panel for current rotation details.

Per Rock Paper Shotgun at research date 2026-07-15, the best five to buy first are Armored Hull, Mortar, Round and Heated Shot, Bow Chasers, and Ram. Twelve Ultimate Ship Upgrade blueprints are scattered across the Caribbean; Eurogamer documents their dig locations. Ubisoft Title Update 1.0.4 fixed the launch-week bug where upgrading the Jackdaw while docked could make it disappear.Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Animus Hub GuideThe Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Animus Hub replaces the playable modern-day office sections with a live-content menu for Projects, Weekly Anomalies, Rifts, the Vault, and Journal Entries.
