Watch Dogs Multiplayer Explained. Who can hack me? Whom you can hack?
There is no Multiplayer in the Watch Dogs as a separate game the same way as in AC4. All online interaction are within your main game. Game developers don't call it "single player" or "multiplayer", they call it "seamless online".
Can anyone come and hack your game at any time?
No. Gate is closed when you are in Story mode or in a Mission. Intrusion is possible only when you are in free roaming, but also you have a shield that protects you from hackers. This shield is adaptive and if you participate more in online activities (multiplayer) - you will become more open for hackers.
Is cross-platform online communication possible?
No. It is not possible from PS4 hack the game on Wii U. But from the ctOS Companion App (which is free) you can join the game on any platform which is in free roaming mode.
Whom you can hack?
For Intrusion and Tailing system pairs you with the pool of players based on your skill level. You cannot select anyone outside of this pool.
For the Watch Dogs Racing multiplayer and for Watch Dogs Decryption multiplayer - you can select public matches or make a private match and invite your friends only.
Skill unlocked during multiplayer - can be used in Story mode and vice-a-versa.
You will be Aiden Pearce and will wear your "story" outfit for all multiplayer sessions. You cannot select another persona for yourself in multiplayer, but you can select faction skin, tags, etc.
In Watch Dogs Racing Multiplayer players can select different cars and race on different tracks, but all within your "story mode" world.
By doing well in Multiplayer mode you will rise your Notoriety level. If you have been hacked - you will loose some of the Notoriety points. Higher Notoriety levels will unlock new skills. Once you achieve certain level of Notoriety - it transfers into the Watch Dogs Leaderboard. Confusing, huh?

Watch Dogs: There are few you can trust: T-Bone Grady, Jordi Chin, Clara...
T-BONE GRADY
You might remember the scatterbrained, dreadlocked T-Bone from an earlier preview. He's kind of a distracted, crazy guy who's very tech-savvy.
T-Bone is key to helping Pearce find the people responsible for hurting his family. Of course, T-Bone also has his own issues he's trying to deal with. He's not just running from a barber -- he's also running from his own past. He made a mistake in his life and some people died because of it so he's been wrestling with that. He's scattered and he's affected by the things that happened in the past. He and Pearce share that. They deal with it in different ways, but they share that past and it bonds them in a way.
More T-Bone following the launch of the game in the DLC single-player campaign starring the eccentric hacker with a penchant for blowing things up.
JORDI CHIN
When your plan runs into some... complications, you call a fixer: the type of guy who you hire to make a problem go away -- whatever the problem is. That's where Jordi Chin comes in. He's to-the-point, has a wicked sense of humor, and comes with the solutions to all your problems -- so long as you can pay him. Along with their financial relationship, Jordi and Aiden share a complicated friendship.
CLARA LILLE
She's a dangerous woman who can weave her way through any system and expose every secret you hide. She might be an ally... but she might just as easily ruin Aiden.
Aiden meets this mysterious French-Canadian woman early on in the game and they form a deep bond. She has a bit of a dark secret that she's holding onto. You'll find out eventually through the course of the game what that is.
Aiden's family also plays a role in the story. As you might guess, they aren't completely behind Pearce's self-destructive, compulsive behavior. Pearce is determined to find out who's responsible by any means necessary. He doesn't know who did it; he only knows his family was seriously hurt. He becomes obsessive about it. His family says, Let it go. We're moving on. But Aiden can't.

Watch Dogs Multiplayer Gameplay - seamless online: Intrusion,Tailing,Rac...
Seamless and fully integrated into the gameplay, the online experience in Watch Dogs is unlike anything else.
So, "officially" there is no 'Multiplayer" in Watch Dogs - it's called "seamless online".
Because in Watch Dogs it's not multiplayer as we typically know it. It's not about lobbies and leaderboards. It's not a separate experience, segmented off from the single-player campaign. It's a fully integrated way to enjoy online gameplay with other people, while remaining immersed in your own version of Watch Dogs' Chicago.
The first thing you will notice that you will always be Aiden Pearce, even in a team with your friends. In fact, all of them are also look like Aiden Pearce on their own screen. This is very different from the typical multiplayer experience.
WAYS TO PLAY
Watch Dogs Intrusion
This as a techno high-and-seek where you need to steal data from your opponent and get away. He can actually stop you if he finds you with the profiler.
Watch Dogs Tailing
If you enter someone's game, you can follow and observe him. The goal is to gain valuable information before escaping. Both the tailing and intrusion gameplay are built to create a neutral-positive dynamic between two players that's in the universe of Watch Dogs. If someone comes into your game just to kill you, it's not fun.
Watch Dogs Racing
As straightforward as it sounds. Players can use different cars and race on different tracks, all set within the game's world.
Watch Dogs Decryption
Those who want a highly competitive team-based throwdown will find it with this four-against-four PvP mode. It's fast, it's intense, and it's fully integrated into the open-world Chicago.
You can turn off the online multiplayer options. Keep in mind that the game naturally turns off the multiplayer during missions.
Another important aspect of the seamless online: it adapts to each player. There is a shield. So if someone comes into your game and hacks you, you're protected. It can't happen. The less you partake in the multiplayer, the longer the shield. If you're not hacking people and you're not into that gameplay, the game will recognize and acknowledge that you're not into that. That's fine. The shield will slowly become many hours because we're trying to adapt. There are so many different players and we're trying to adapt to all of them and make an experience that works for them.
All players will always see themselves as Aiden Pearce. It's that simple. So when I hack into your game, I see myself on my screen as Aiden. And when someone else hacks into my game, I continue to be Aiden. The same goes for the other player. However, each of us sees the other as a "fixer" whose appearance is chosen from the pool of NPCs.
REWARDS... AND RISKS
With the seamless online, it's all about Notoriety. In order to track how well you're doing with the various multiplayer modes, the game has a Notoriety rating that moves up and down in relation to your activities. It's your fame. It's your rank as a hacker. If you are hacked you'll lose a bit of notoriety.
Notoriety works like a thermometer. When it goes up you can gain skills -- meaning that the seamless online isn't just fun but also provides a benefit. There are even specific Notoriety skills in the skill tree.
Where Notoriety becomes a true gauge, though, is when a player really embraces the more competitive aspects of multiplayer. The more you participate, the further you go -- and then Notoriety becomes a leaderboard. You can remove some points from people and that will affect the leaderboard. People will be competing to be the best.
Watch Dogs Companion App.
Along with the fully integrated seamless online multiplayer, Watch Dogs also lets another person challenge you via a second screen. The companion app puts players in the role of a ctOS agent controlling the city and trying to stop Aiden Pearce by deploying the police (including a helicopter) and triggering hacks in the world. It's a lot of fun for both players, and the app is totally free -- you don't even need to own the game to download and enjoy it. While the app isn't set up to sync with your in-game profile, it does have its own progression; players can gain Notoriety and earn money, skills and experience points using the app.
