Watch Dogs: Legion was launched in 2020 without an online multiplayer mode, and the mode was finally launched last week for most platforms. The game is available with cross-purchase support between console generations, but the game does not support any form of cross-game. However, this will change in a future update.
The game’s official Twitter account confirmed this when it responded to a fan’s request, saying the development team would add it later. It has not given a date when this update will take place, and based on the delays we’ve already seen for Legion’s online mode – it would have originally appeared months ago – Ubisoft Toronto will probably work to make sure it works smoothly before proceeding with the addition of more features.
While crossplay and cross-generation play are currently unavailable for Watch Dogs: Legion Online Mode, the development team is adding this feature to the game with a later update.

The previous Watch Dogs games also included both multiplayer modes, and they did not try to deliver exactly the same experience as the single player section, but with more people. In the original game, for example, you could use a separate phone program to stop a player from running around on the ground. This was a new idea given the telephone burglary interface for which the series is known.
However, the question remains for Legion whether the launch of this mode will be enough to involve players who may have finished months ago. Despite the “play like anyone” mechanic offering almost endless possibilities, the main story is significantly shorter than Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which was released around the same time.
Watch Dogs: Legion is one of several Ubisoft games with cross-purchase support, which means you can buy the PS4 copy and play on PS5 or buy the Xbox One copy and play it on Xbox Series X. The same does not apply to reverse – the physical games with PS5 brands will only work on the newer consoles, but the Xbox game supports Smart Delivery, so it works on the one and automatically installs the correct version.
