Ubisoft finally patched incompatibility of AC Origins and Valhalla with Windows 11

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

Our "How is Ubisoft today?" update series continues. While upper management navigates ongoing difficulties, there's positive news: a significant compatibility issue has been resolved.

Ubisoft has successfully addressed compatibility problems between several Assassin's Creed titles and the Windows 11 24H2 update. This update, released in Fall 2024, caused malfunctions in games like Assassin's Creed Origins and Assassin's Creed Valhalla, among others. The solution arrived via newly released patches, announced on the Steam pages for Origins and Valhalla.

Player response to the patches has been overwhelmingly positive. With the problem stemming from a Windows update rather than a game development flaw, criticism of Ubisoft is notably absent. Many players express gratitude for the long-awaited fix. However, it's worth noting that recent reviews for both games remain "Mixed."

There's cautious optimism regarding Assassin's Creed Shadows. Its release, recently postponed to March 20th, aims to prioritize quality improvements, recognizing the game's potential impact on the company's future.
