Assassin`s Creed Odyssey has received an update aimed at squashing some bugs and issuing minor (but unspecified) quality-of-life features. The 1.0.3 update is now available, and the patch notes are relatively vague. Among its features are `quality-of-life and usability improvement` and `various `game breaking` issues that could happen in specific conditions.` It also says it improves performance and stability.The patch notes end with a note promising more info. `Stay tuned for additional information concerning the changes included in 1.0.3,` it says. GameSpot has contacted Ubisoft for more detail and will update if more information becomes available.Ubisoft is likely happy with the success of Odyssey so far. Though it didn`t give specific sales data, it announced it had the best launch week for any game in the franchise on the current generation of consoles. That would include Assassin`s Creed IV: Black Flag (2013), as well as all the follow-ups including Assassin`s Creed Unity (2014), Assassin`s Creed Syndicate (2015), and Assassin`s Creed Origins (2017). That number does include revenue from microtransactions, which could mean other games outsold it on a per-unit basis, but Odyssey generated more money altogether.Odyssey has gotten extra attention from an emerging market as well, as Google is using it as a test subject for its Project Stream technology. Players selected for the limited test can play it unlimited through their Chrome browser until January of next year, and are given $10 in in-game currency to purchase any microtransactions. As a trade-off, though, players lose all progress after the end-date.If you`re just getting started in Assassin`s Creed Odyssey, check out our story primer and tips for beginners.
