Ubisoft has released a new statement regarding the state of Watch Dogs 2’s seamless multiplayer confirming the first phase went live on PS4 this afternoon. The Xbox One version should be switched on at some point overnight though an exact time is not known. Players will now be able to invite friends to co-op or search for partners, hack other hacker’s worlds, and hunt down bounty targets or trigger bounties on themselves.
The 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: Nearby bounty targets and Prime_Eight rivals will join 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.
We 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.
