Ubisoft's Recent Wins and Ongoing Challenges: An Update

Following up on our "How is Ubisoft today?" series, we have some positive news amidst ongoing challenges for the company's leadership. A significant compatibility issue has finally been resolved.

Ubisoft has successfully addressed compatibility problems between several Assassin's Creed titles and the Windows 11 24H2 update. Games like Assassin's Creed Origins and Assassin's Creed Valhalla, along with other Ubisoft games, had been malfunctioning on Windows 11 since at least Fall 2024. This fix, delivered via newly released patches (announced on the Steam pages for Origins and Valhalla), has been met with considerable relief from gamers. The positive response highlights that the issue stemmed from Windows, not Ubisoft's development. While gratitude is expressed for the fix, the overall Steam reviews for both games remain "Mixed."

There's cautious optimism regarding Assassin's Creed Shadows. Its launch, recently delayed to March 20th, is intended to benefit from improved quality. The game's success is considered crucial for Ubisoft's future.
