Welcome back to our ongoing series "How is Ubisoft today?" Amidst the ongoing challenges faced by Ubisoft's upper management, there's a silver lining to report. One of the persistent issues that has been plaguing gamers has now been resolved.

Ubisoft has successfully addressed the compatibility problems between several Assassin’s Creed games and the Windows 11 24H2 update. Since at least the fall of 2024, games like Assassin’s Creed Origins and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla were experiencing significant issues on the new operating system. Thankfully, Ubisoft has released new patches to rectify these problems, with announcements made on the Steam pages for both Origins and Valhalla.

The gaming community has responded positively to these updates. Comments under the patch notes show a wave of relief and gratitude towards Ubisoft for finally resolving the issue. It's worth noting that this time, the fault lay with Windows rather than Ubisoft, which has led to a more forgiving stance from the players. Despite this, the recent reviews for both games are still categorized as “Mixed.”

Looking ahead, there's optimism that the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows will not encounter similar compatibility issues. The release of this title has been pushed back to March 20, as Ubisoft prioritizes enhancing its quality. The successful launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows is crucial, as it could play a significant role in shaping the future of the company.
