I'm having the exact problem, just got my ps5 and was so excited to play the next gen upgrade but I've seen on quite a few occasions that screen tearing is present...enjoying the game but I can't wait til they patch this out.

@ubikobold it's on all cutscenes and it isn't happening during gameplay itself. Only on missions cutscenes does it occur.

@jakhi147 and yes every cutscene

I saw on the known issues that screen tearing is being investigated on xbox only, but I'm experience a lot of screen tearing on my PS5 to the point I stopped playing the game.

It's happening on every cinematic and a little bit on the open world in dense villages and raids, This wasn't happening at all before the latest patch.

I have no idea what they did on the latest patch, but it made the game worse on my PS5 a lot of screen tearing.

Can Ubisoft support please give us a clear answer about this issue ?

@owsama I had this issue too. Between that and the horrible audio when using headphones on the PS5, I had to return my copy of the game. Really hope they address these issues soon. Would also really wish Ubi could release their games in better states than this.

I have this issue as well.

@ubikobold all seems to be ok now thanks! Not sure if what you got me to do or the latest update

when I moved from PS4 to PS5 I First enjoyed the smooth gameplay and graphics but larger cities are pretty aweful. Screen tearing is very Bad in Eorforwic and Wincaester is even worse. I was not in these places before patch 1.1.0.0 and cannot tell if it was better before. However right now I even consider to stop playing because performance is so poor.

Massive amounts of screen tear when visiting cities.

Playing in Performance mode on PS5, seeing a lot of it. I know this is probably a known issue, but it would actually be nice to know whether this is being addressed at any point.

Screen tearing had pretty much been kept to a minimum up until this point...after entering the town of Wincestre the game drops frames left right and centre! Seriously everywhere you look the screen is constantly tearing. It’s super displeasing to look at. It’s everywhere as soon as your on ground level. Hoping a patch addresses this.

Screen tear up the @$$ in major cities.

please advise and fix- come on guys...
this is suppose to be your first major show case of a AAA title for next-gen.

Guys the screen tearing as well as the other problems iv listed have incressed since the last update its insain how is it gotten worse? its really hard to keep playing....seriously c'mon this is one of the only ps5 games that have been great so far....but damn these isues are piling up...

I’m getting really bad screen tearing, particularly in Colcestre. It also seems to do it whenever autosaving. Also during gameplay I occasionally get minor freezes where the game will just stop for half a second or so and then resume.
(PS5, performance mode, with 60hz tv)

@bazingarob update: after reaching Jorvik I can confirm it’s just as bad, if not worse, there.
