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

Ubisoft's Recent Update Success: Assassin's Creed Compatibility Restored

Our "How is Ubisoft today?" series continues. While upper management navigates ongoing challenges, positive news emerges regarding a significant compatibility issue.

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, experienced malfunctions on Windows 11 since Fall 2024. This issue has now been resolved via newly released patches, announced on the Steam pages for Origins and Valhalla.

Positive player feedback followed the patch releases, with gamers expressing relief and gratitude for the fix. The root cause was identified as a Windows issue, rather than a problem with the games themselves. Despite this positive resolution, user reviews for both games remain "Mixed."

There's cautious optimism surrounding Assassin's Creed Shadows, whose release was recently delayed until March 20th. This delay allows Ubisoft to focus on quality improvements, recognizing the game's critical importance to the company's future.
