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

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

Our "How is Ubisoft today?" series continues. While the company navigates ongoing leadership challenges, some positive news emerges. 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. Games like Assassin's Creed Origins and Valhalla, along with others, had become unplayable on Windows 11 since Fall 2024. This fix, delivered via new patches (announced on Steam), has been met with relief from gamers. The positive response highlights that the issue stemmed from Windows, not Ubisoft's development. While gratitude is expressed for the fix, user reviews for these titles remain "Mixed."

There's optimism that Assassin's Creed Shadows, recently delayed until March 20th to allow for quality improvements, will avoid similar problems. The game's launch is considered crucial for the company's future.
