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 addressed a persistent issue that has been a thorn in the side of many gamers.
Ubisoft has resolved the compatibility issues between several Assassin’s Creed titles and the 24H2 update for Windows 11. This update had previously caused games like Assassin’s Creed Origins and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, among others, to malfunction since at least the fall of 2024. The solution arrived through the release of new patches, which were detailed on the Steam pages for both Origins and Valhalla.
The gaming community has responded with enthusiasm to these updates. Comments under the patch notes are filled with expressions of relief and gratitude towards Ubisoft, especially since the problem stemmed from Windows rather than from Ubisoft itself. Despite the positive feedback, the recent reviews for both games on Steam still hover at "Mixed."
Looking ahead, there is optimism that Assassin’s Creed Shadows, whose release has been postponed to March 20, will not encounter similar compatibility issues. Ubisoft's decision to delay the game aims to enhance its quality, a move that is crucial as the success of Assassin’s Creed Shadows could significantly impact the company's future.
