Q: Do I need to own the DLC to install Update 1.5.6? A: No. The Korfu quest is free for all players, regardless of whether you own Legacy of the First Blade or Fate of Atlantis. Sony handles updates via the system firmware
Q: Will Update 1.5.6 break my mods (PC only)? A: Yes. If you use Reshade or texture mods, they will likely need an update. Forge (the mod loader) usually breaks after major patches. Uninstall mods before patching.
Q: How long does the download take? A: At 50 Mbps internet, the download takes ~30 minutes. Installation takes another 10 minutes.
Q: I see "Update 1.56" not "1.5.6". Is that the same? A: Yes. Ubisoft uses "1.5.6" while PlayStation/Sony compress the version number to "1.56." It is the same patch.
Update 1.5.6 is one of the final major patches for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. While it doesn’t add new story content, it focuses on critical bug fixes, performance improvements, and—most notably—enhanced next-gen compatibility for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, allowing the game to run at 60 FPS. Note for PS5: The update is identical
