Welcome back to our ongoing series "How is Ubisoft today?" While the company's upper management continues to navigate through recent challenges, there's a ray of hope amidst the turmoil. Ubisoft has successfully addressed a vexing issue that has been plaguing players for months.
The company has finally resolved the compatibility problems between several Assassin’s Creed titles, including Assassin’s Creed Origins and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and the 24H2 update for Windows 11. These issues, which emerged since at least the fall of 2024, prevented these popular games from running smoothly on the updated operating system. Ubisoft has rolled out new patches to fix this, and the updates were officially announced on the Steam pages for both Origins and Valhalla.
The gaming community has responded positively to these developments. In the comments section under the patch notes, players expressed their relief and gratitude towards Ubisoft for the long-awaited solution. Notably, gamers have refrained from their usual criticisms, recognizing that this particular issue stemmed from the Windows update rather than Ubisoft's own shortcomings. Despite the positive feedback, the recent reviews for both games on Steam still hover at "Mixed."
Looking forward, there's optimism surrounding the upcoming release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Originally set for an earlier launch, the game's release has been postponed to March 20. Ubisoft is taking this extra time to enhance the game's quality, understanding that its success could be pivotal for the company's future.
