Welcome back to our ongoing series, "How is Ubisoft today?" Amidst the ongoing challenges faced by Ubisoft's upper management, there's finally a glimmer of good news on the horizon. Ubisoft has successfully addressed a long-standing issue that has been plaguing its fans: compatibility problems between several Assassin’s Creed titles and the 24H2 update for Windows 11. Since at least the fall of 2024, games like Assassin’s Creed Origins and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, along with other Ubisoft titles, were not functioning properly on the new operating system. The resolution has come through the release of new patches, which were announced on the Steam pages for Origins and Valhalla.

The gaming community has responded positively to these updates. Comments under the patch notes are filled with expressions of relief and gratitude, as players appreciate Ubisoft stepping up to fix an issue that stemmed from Windows, rather than their own development. Despite this positive shift, the recent reviews for both games are still labeled as "Mixed," indicating that there's still room for improvement.

Looking forward, there is optimism surrounding the upcoming release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Its launch, now rescheduled for March 20, has been delayed as Ubisoft focuses on enhancing the game's quality. This move is crucial, as the success of Assassin’s Creed Shadows could very well shape the future trajectory of the company. With these developments, Ubisoft continues to navigate its path forward, striving to regain the trust and satisfaction of its player base.
