Ubisoft has announced that its upcoming title, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, will be available on Steam Deck from the first day of launch. This game marks a significant return for Ubisoft as it becomes the first of their titles to launch on Steam immediately, following a reversal of their previous Steam release policy.
Initially, there were doubts regarding the game’s compatibility with Steam Deck due to its hardware specifications, which reportedly fell short of the minimum requirements for the game. However, Ubisoft has now confirmed that Shadows will indeed receive the Steam Deck Verified status. This designation ensures a level of performance quality, indicating that users should not face issues related to controller support, display resolution, or text legibility.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows, set in Japan, is scheduled to launch for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on March 20. For those interested in playing on day one, GameSpot’s preorder guide provides all the necessary details.
