Yes, you are playing the game unpatched, but it seems that most of the technical issues the game had are solved by running it on stronger hardware - I only experienced one major bug, where I fell through the map, during my 40 hrs of playtime. It cannot be overstated how much this drastically improves ACU. With the PS4 disk version of ACU, you can play the game at a near-perfect 60 fps (I had about 20 seconds of sub-60 framerate during my entire play through during one particularly taxing set piece) on PS5. Having done so allowed me to return to the game now, on PS5, and have a mostly fresh experience. The controversy caused by its technical issues only made me write the game off further as a mediocre entry, and while I no longer believe that, boy am I glad I waited to play it. It was a game that left an impression on me when it came out as having a pretty memorable intro sequence, and being graphically astounding for the time, but too similar to recent Assassin's Creed games I had played, so I dropped it. Over the past few weeks or so I've been playing through Assassin's Creed Unity.
