Welcome back to our ongoing series "How is Ubisoft today?" Amidst the ongoing challenges faced by Ubisoft's upper management, there's a glimmer of good news to share. A persistent issue that has been plaguing gamers has finally been addressed.

Ubisoft has successfully resolved the compatibility issues that arose between several Assassin’s Creed titles and the Windows 11 24H2 update. Since the fall of 2024, games like Assassin’s Creed Origins and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, along with other Ubisoft titles, were experiencing significant performance problems on the new operating system. The solution arrived in the form of newly released patches, which were announced on the Steam pages for both Origins and Valhalla.

The gaming community has responded positively to these updates. In the comments section under the patch notes, players expressed their relief and gratitude towards Ubisoft for providing the much-needed fix. Interestingly, the criticism usually directed at Ubisoft has been absent this time, as the root of the problem was traced back to the Windows update rather than the game developer itself. Despite the positive feedback, the recent reviews for both games still hover around "Mixed."

Looking forward, there's optimism surrounding the upcoming release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The game's launch, which has been rescheduled to March 20, is seen as a critical moment for Ubisoft. The company is focusing on enhancing the game's quality, understanding that its success could play a pivotal role in shaping the company's future.
