Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ steep PC requirements may have suggested that the game wouldn’t be able to run on a Steam Deck, and sure enough, in February, Ubisoft said that at launch, it wouldn’t support the device. Now, however, the company has backtracked and confirmed otherwise.
Taking to Twitter, Ubisoft recently announced that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will support the Steam Deck at launch later this month after all. The company says it is “currently awaiting the level of classification from Valve,” which means we don’t know if it’s going to be Stem Deck Verified- but it will be playable on the portable device, which is good news.
“More info to come soon,” Ubisoft’s tweet said.
On PC, meanwhile, the open world action RPG will also feature support for uncapped frame rates, ultrawide resolution, all Frame Generation tech, dynamic resolution scaling, and more. Read more on that through here.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows launches on March 20 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Many of you have been asking about Steam Deck. We are happy to say that we are supporting Steam Deck at launch and are currently awaiting the level of classification from Valve. More info to come soon.
