Welcome back to our update series "How is Ubisoft today?" Amidst the ongoing challenges faced by Ubisoft's upper management, there's a glimmer of positive news to share. The company has successfully tackled a vexing issue that has been plaguing gamers for months.
Ubisoft has now resolved the compatibility issues between several Assassin’s Creed titles and the 24H2 update for Windows 11. Since the fall of 2024, games like Assassin’s Creed Origins and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, along with other Ubisoft titles, were experiencing significant performance problems on the new operating system. The solution? Fresh patches that were rolled out and announced on the Steam pages for both Origins and Valhalla.
The gaming community has responded with enthusiasm in the comments section of the patch notes. Many gamers are expressing their gratitude to Ubisoft for the much-anticipated fix, particularly noting that this time the issue stemmed from Windows, not Ubisoft itself. While the sentiment is positive, the recent reviews for both games still hover at "Mixed."
Looking ahead, there's optimism surrounding the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Its release has been rescheduled to March 20, a strategic move by Ubisoft to enhance the game's quality. The success of this launch is crucial, as it could very well shape the future of the company.
