AC Origins, Valhalla Update Fixes Windows 11 Issues

Ubisoft's Recent Update Success: A Positive Note Amidst Ongoing Challenges

Our ongoing "How is Ubisoft today?" series reports a welcome development. While upper management continues to navigate significant challenges, a long-standing 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 experienced malfunctions since Fall 2024. The fix arrived via newly released patches, announced on the Steam pages for Origins and Valhalla.

Positive player feedback has followed the patch releases, with gamers expressing relief and gratitude for the solution. The problem's origin in a Windows update, rather than Ubisoft's game development, has also contributed to a more positive reception. Despite this, recent reviews for both games remain "Mixed."

There is cautious optimism regarding Assassin's Creed Shadows, whose release has been delayed until March 20th. Ubisoft's stated aim is to enhance the game's quality, recognizing the importance of a successful launch given the company's current situation.
