Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced for PS5: A Comprehensive Review

When Ubisoft announced that Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag would be resynced for the PlayStation 5, fans of the pirate‑themed action‑adventure were excited to see a fresh take on a beloved classic. The new build, titled Black Flag Resynced, promises improved visuals, smoother performance, and a handful of quality‑of‑life updates that aim to bring the game up to modern standards. Below we break down what the resynced version offers, how it performs on the PS5, and whether it’s worth the download.

Key Highlights of the Resynced Build

Performance on the PlayStation 5

The PS5’s hardware allows Black Flag Resynced to run at a steady 60 fps in most scenes, with occasional drops to 30 fps during heavy combat or when rendering large naval battles. The use of ray‑traced reflections on the water surface adds a realistic sheen, while the dynamic lighting system brings the sunlit islands to life. Players who choose the 2160p setting will notice a significant increase in visual clarity, especially in open‑world environments where the detail of the sea and ships is crucial.

To experience the best quality, the recommendation is to Select 2160p for Best Quality ◅◅. This setting takes full advantage of the PS5’s graphical capabilities, though it does require a compatible 4K display. On 1080p TVs, the game still runs smoothly, but some of the finer texture details are lost.

Audio Experience and the Importance of Tracks

One of the most celebrated aspects of the original Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag was its soundtrack, composed by Johan de Meij and Johan Hult. The resynced version refines these tracks, adding depth and clarity. The Треки section below highlights the most iconic pieces that players will recognize:
