Watch Dogs: Legion

What it is

The game’s listed activities include exploring London’s landmarks and side activities, using hacking tools such as armed drones and spider-bots, and taking on enemies with an augmented-reality cloak. Co-op missions and distinct game modes let friends team up, while the feature listing also includes PvP and online PvP. Single-player is available as well. Steam features include achievements, captions and partial controller support; in-app purchases are also listed. Watch Dogs: Legion was released on January 26, 2023, and is listed for Windows on Steam, with Xbox Series X and Series S also named in its platform listing.
