Ubisoft's Recent Wins and Ongoing Challenges: An Update
This update continues our series, "How is Ubisoft Today?" While upper management navigates ongoing challenges, positive news emerges regarding a significant technical hurdle.
Ubisoft has successfully addressed compatibility issues between several Assassin's Creed titles and the Windows 11 24H2 update. This update, released in Fall 2024, previously caused malfunctions in games such as Assassin's Creed Origins and Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The solution involved deploying new patches, announced on the respective Steam pages.
Player feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing gratitude for the timely fix. The issue's root cause—a Windows update conflict—has shifted the focus away from Ubisoft's development practices. Despite this positive response, user reviews for both Origins and Valhalla remain "Mixed."
Looking ahead, there's cautious optimism regarding Assassin's Creed Shadows. Its launch, recently postponed to March 20th, aims to prioritize quality assurance. The game's success is considered crucial for Ubisoft's future.
