We're back with another update on Ubisoft. While the company continues to navigate recent challenges, there's some good news! A persistent compatibility issue has finally been resolved.
Ubisoft has addressed compatibility problems between several Assassin's Creed titles and the Windows 11 24H2 update. This update, released in Fall 2024, caused games like Assassin's Creed Origins and Assassin's Creed Valhalla, among others, to malfunction on the new OS. The solution arrived via newly released patches, announced on the Steam pages for Origins and Valhalla.
Player response to the patches has been overwhelmingly positive. Comments on the patch notes express relief and gratitude, acknowledging that this issue stemmed from Windows, not Ubisoft's game development. While the overall Steam reviews for both games remain "Mixed," the recent positive feedback reflects the impact of this fix.
There's also cautious optimism regarding Assassin's Creed Shadows. Recently delayed until March 20th to allow for further quality improvements, its successful launch is considered crucial for Ubisoft's future.
