Assassin's Creed Odyssey Update Version 1.50 Out Now, Brings Discovery Tour: Greece to PS4 Next Month

Ubisoft has released a massive update for its Assassin’s Creed Odyssey on PS4 today, bringing with it a whole bunch of tweaks and fixes, but also preps the game for the long-awaited Discovery Tour: Greece.
The new update, version 1.50, is out now on PS4 and will run you around 13.3GB of hard drive space, according to Ubisoft. The update, which is available to download and install now, brings a slew of tweaks and bug fixes across all portions of the game. So that’s the main game, the DLC expansions, and even the Story Creator Mode with problems being rectified.
Fair play to Ubisoft for continuing the support for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Many games get left to rot once they’ve been pushed out the door, but Ubisoft has done a great job at keeping the game updated with new content and fixes. Heck, we’re even getting the Discovery Tour: Greece mode next month, with this update here preparing the game for it.
For those who are unaware, Discovery Tour: Greece, is exactly what it says on the tin. You’ll navigate through the game’s world, but in a completely combat-free fashion, just having a look around and learning what’s what in ancient Greece. It was a featured first implemented in Assassin’s Creed Origins and so it’s nice to see it return with Odyssey.
Sadly, this may be one of the last updates for the game. It’s nearing its final curtain call and what with Watch Dogs Legion just around the corner, I imagine Ubisoft will be doubling down its efforts on polishing one of my favourite games of E3 2019.
Below you’ll find the patch notes for the new update.
