Ubisoft has officially confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be compatible with Valve’s Steam Deck at launch. This news is a relief for players who have been waiting to play the game on a handheld console.
In a recent statement, Ubisoft addressed the community’s questions and worries regarding Steam Deck support: “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.“
This development is particularly significant. Previous information was suggesting that Assassin’s Creed Shadows would not be compatible with the Steam Deck at launch due to hardware limitations. The change indicates that Ubisoft has optimized the game to run on Valve’s handheld device. This guaranties that a larger audience can enjoy the latest installment in the Assassin’s Creed series.
As a reminder, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is set to release on March 20, 2025. It will be available on multiple platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC.
With the confirmation of Steam Deck compatibility, you now have the flexibility to embark on your assassin adventures both at home and on the go!
