Ubisoft issued a statement via press release today confirming that the first phase of seamless multiplayer online will be turned on for PlayStation 4 with the seamless multiplayer online for Xbox One to be activated overnight. You will now be able to invite friends to play co-op, search for new co-op partners, hack into a rival hacker’s world, and find targets for Bounty Hunts or trigger a bounty on yourself.
A Ubisoft development team “will monitor the online stability of the seamless multiplayer features and should everything continue to run smoothly, the additional elements and final phase of seamless multiplayer will be deployed.” This would include nearby bounty targets and Prime_Eight rivals joining the player’s world for them to hunt down and hack without going through the Multiplayer App in the smartphone. Players will also encounter friendly Dedsec hackers who can help them complete different Dedsec events throughout San Francisco.
Ubisoft “will provide periodic updates through this process and we have truly appreciated everyone’s patience and support while we worked to implement the seamless multiplayer feature of the game.”
