Unlike past Watch Dogs titles, players will be able to play with just about any character they find in the game. The point of the new title is to build a resistance from virtually anyone you see as you hack, infiltrate and fight to take back a near-future London that is facing its downfall.
Of course, players will be able to enjoy Watch Dogs: Legion on current-gen consoles this week, but they can also look forward to PS5 and Xbox Series X versions in early November.
What Time Is Watch Dogs: Legion Available To Download?

The official PlayStation Store listing has a countdown timer that will end around 12 a.m. EDT. The Microsoft Store listing also states that the upcoming Ubisoft game will come out at 12 a.m. EDT.
Watch Dogs: Legion Pre-Order Bonuses and Next-Gen Upgrade Options
There are three different editions of Watch Dogs: Legion for fans to pre-order.
The standard edition will give players the full game, but also the Golden King pack featuring a mask, car skin and two weapon skins. This version will cost the usual $59.99.
The Gold Edition will give players the base game, as well as access to the Season Pass of content that will release post-launch. The season pass includes one major expansion with two episodes, extra missions, four iconic heroes with unique abilities and immediate access to the original Watch Dogs Complete Edition. This version will cost $99.99.
And finally, we have the Ultimate Edition, including the base game, season pass, and the Ultimate Pack. The Ultimate Pack contains the Urban Jungle pack, featuring three unique characters with their own skills and cosmetics, a bundle of three masks and a premium booster pack.
If you’re looking to play Watch Dogs: Legion on next-gen consoles, PlayStation owners will be able to upgrade their PS4 version to the digital version on PS5 for no extra cost. This upgraded version will boost the title with raytracing, loading times reduced by the ultra-high-speed SSD and adaptive triggers enabling “hand-tuned responses.”
Xbox owners will receive the Xbox Series X/S version through Microsoft’s Smart delivery feature. Players will get hardware-accelerated raytracing, loading times reduced and real-time ray traced reflections.
The next-gen upgrades will drop when the consoles do. The Xbox Series X version will release on November 10, and the PS5 version will release on November 12.
