Welcome back to our ongoing series, "How is Ubisoft today?" While the company's upper management continues to navigate through turbulent times, there's a glimmer of positive news on the horizon. Ubisoft has successfully addressed a frustrating issue that has plagued gamers for months.

The compatibility woes between several Assassin’s Creed titles and the 24H2 update for Windows 11 have finally been resolved. Since at least the fall of 2024, games like Assassin’s Creed Origins, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and others were malfunctioning on the new operating system. Ubisoft has rolled out fresh patches to fix these issues, with announcements made on the Steam pages for both Origins and Valhalla.

The gaming community has responded with enthusiasm, expressing gratitude for the long-awaited solution in the comments section under the patch notes. Interestingly, gamers have refrained from their usual critiques of Ubisoft, acknowledging that the root cause of the problem stemmed from Windows, not the game developer. Despite the positive feedback, the recent reviews for both games still hover at "Mixed."

Looking forward, there's optimism surrounding the upcoming release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Its launch, recently rescheduled to March 20, is seen as a critical moment for Ubisoft. The company is focusing on enhancing the game's quality, as its success could be pivotal in determining Ubisoft's future trajectory.
