Ubisoft's Recent Update Success: A Positive Note Amidst Ongoing Challenges
This update continues our series, "How is Ubisoft today?" While the company navigates significant ongoing challenges, positive news has emerged regarding a previously frustrating issue.
Ubisoft has successfully addressed compatibility problems between several Assassin's Creed titles and the Windows 11 24H2 update. Since Fall 2024, games like Assassin's Creed Origins and Assassin's Creed Valhalla, among others, experienced malfunctions on the new OS. These issues have now been resolved through newly released patches, as announced on the Steam pages for Origins and Valhalla.
Player response to the patches has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing relief and gratitude for the long-awaited fix. This positive feedback is notable, as the problem stemmed from Windows incompatibility rather than a game development flaw. Despite this, user reviews for both games remain "Mixed."
Looking ahead, there's cautious optimism regarding Assassin's Creed Shadows. Recently delayed until March 20th to allow for quality improvements, the game's launch is considered crucial for Ubisoft's future.
