Welcome back to another episode of our update series, "How is Ubisoft Today?" Amidst the ongoing challenges faced by upper management, there's a glimmer of good news on the horizon. Ubisoft has successfully tackled a frustrating issue that has been plaguing gamers for months.
The company has resolved the compatibility issues between several Assassin’s Creed titles and the 24H2 update for Windows 11. This update had caused games like Assassin’s Creed Origins, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and others to malfunction since the fall of 2024. The solution came through the release of new patches, which were announced on the Steam pages for Origins and Valhalla.
Gamers have expressed their relief and appreciation in the comments section of the patch notes. They've noted that the problem stemmed from the Windows update rather than Ubisoft's development, leading to a rare moment of praise for the company. Despite this positive feedback, the recent reviews for both games still hover at "Mixed."
Looking forward, there's optimism surrounding the upcoming release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Originally slated for an earlier launch, the game's release has been postponed to March 20. Ubisoft is focusing on enhancing the game's quality, understanding that its success could be pivotal for the company's future.
