Ubisoft provides a positive update in its ongoing "How is Ubisoft today?" series. A significant compatibility problem has been resolved.
Ubisoft has successfully addressed compatibility issues between several Assassin's Creed titles (including Origins and Valhalla) and the Windows 11 24H2 update. These issues, present since at least Fall 2024, rendered the games unplayable for many users. The solution involved newly released patches, announced on the Steam pages for the affected games.
Positive player feedback followed the patch releases, with gamers expressing relief and gratitude for the fix. The root cause was identified as a Windows issue, not a game development flaw, which lessened criticism of Ubisoft. Despite this, user reviews for both Origins and Valhalla remain "Mixed."
There's cautious optimism regarding Assassin's Creed Shadows, recently delayed until March 20th, 2025. Ubisoft's focus on quality improvements suggests a desire to avoid similar launch problems. The game's success is considered crucial for the company's future.
