A lot of fans are pretty upset about the "Watch Dogs 2" game as its first week of release was wrought with some issues that led to its online multiplayer mode's being shut down. However, Ubisoft is now slowly beginning to re-enable the game mode, much to the relief of the frustrated fans.

According to Game Spot, Ubisoft was able deliver some updates about the game's situation after it failed to bring back the game's multiplayer mode online over the past weekend. Thankfully, the first wave of news says that the first phase for the seamless online multiplayer of "Watch Dogs 2" has been brought back online two days ago for the PS4 and the Xbox One.

Game Rant also reports that with this, players can now use their in-game multiplayer app in order to invite their friends for co-op missions as well as hack into other players' worlds and participate in Bounty Hunts. Should things get smoother, it is possible that the seamless online multiplayer for "Watch Dogs 2" will be turned on completely, allowing for more seamless Bounty Hunts without using the app.

Eventually, players can bump into each other and participate in co-op campaigns and DedSec events in "Watch Dogs 2." 

The additions that came alongside update 1.05 for "Watch Dogs 2" are pretty clear, but some of them are cryptic. Others were not even stated at all. Some of the more cryptic ones include a fix that would remedy the crashes that play havoc upon the game's stability. As such, players are just encouraged to monitor the game's online situation and share any changes they find within "Watch Dogs 2."

In any case, "Watch Dogs 2" did not do as good as Ubisoft projected, and it is possible that the problems mentioned above could be the cause. However, with the PC version of "Watch Dogs 2" on its way, it is possible that the game's sales could still to improve.
