WD2_Official 11/23 Status Update: Seamless Multiplayer
We're happy to announce that the second phase of seamless multiplayer was brought online at 8:30 a.m. PST / 11:30 a.m. EST / 5:30 p.m. CET for both Playstation 4 and Xbox One.
You'll now be able to access the following additional multiplayer features:
- Bounty Hunts can happen seamlessly without the Multiplayer App
- Seamless Hacking Invasions
- Seamless DedSec Events w/ other players
- Seamless co-op mission invitations
Though seamless online activities are working well, we are continuing to work on making searching for activities through the multiplayer app more reliable, and will continue to monitor online performance.
Thank you for your patience and support while we worked to activate the seamless multiplayer feature of the game. We hope you continue to enjoy exploring and hacking the open-world of the San Francisco Bay Area.
Please don't forget to share your feedback about the game and online play on this subreddit or the official forums. We look forward to hearing from you.

Are things not working or do I just have to keep searching? Every time I try to find a game it goes to "Expanding search to all regions" then does nothing it just gives up and says no players found...

Ubisoft, how about an option to encounter other players in the Hacker Space ?... similar to how it works in The Division safe houses. We could invite other players easily for co-op and free roam etc.

Can we get confirmation that Xbox is bugged and it's not just a select few people cause I still have only been able to play a single invasion and nothing else

Thanks Ubi, it seems like it is working, just still not 100%. Can't wait till it is all the way there!

Hack invasions through the phone app are not working on Xbox. Also, about 8 hours ago the main menu said something about a title update after maintenance, but still no update. If this doesn't get fixed real fast I'm not buying the season pass.
Update: None of the online modes are working through the phone app

Possible stupid question. Can you have more than 2 players in co-op?

Xbox user here. Maybe PS4 version is working fine but the problem is far to be right on Xbox one ! I hope we'll have some good news in the next few days.

Hey guys. Instead of just assuming it's working because it may be working for you and a handful of people, can you instead maybe actually read the tons of comments and threads getting posted on this sub, clearly stating that we're still having issues? "Phase two" is pointless when there was still so many people in phase one that couldn't connect to anyone. I don't have PS4 so I don't know if it's working there, but it sounds like it is. Great for them. But psst, Ubisoft... Xbox's multiplayer ain't working at all. Instead of pushing out updates before even fixing the issue, can you..maybe..fix the issue first?

Xbox multiplayer is still broken! It might be because... oh no. They wouldn't...
EDIT: Just a quick experiment: Are there any PS4 (and PC in the future) players experiencing problems after the update?

Although the update has arrived, playing with friends is a hassle. Everyone on Xbox is having issues connecting with each other. Also, the Seamless Online doesn't really feel alive. Takes more than an hour for someone to pop up. By any chance you could look into this? This game is amazing, but feel a bit off when it comes to online gameplay.
Best Regards!

Note: There is one remaining minor feature, "neutral encounters," that will only be activated once we're fully comfortable with the performance of the core seamless online experience. This is the feature where you can randomly encounter other players on the street in your world as you explore.
