Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition, the latest celebratory release from Ubisoft, brings together multiple classic versions of the beloved platformer in a single collection available on modern platforms like Nintendo Switch and the eShop.
Marking three decades since Rayman’s original 1995 debut, this special edition allows both longtime fans and newer players to rediscover the game’s iconic stages, unique art style, and challenging gameplay.
However, the launch has not been entirely smooth for everyone revisiting Rayman’s roots. Shortly after release, users began reporting a significant issue affecting the Atari Jaguar and MS-DOS versions included in Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition: the inability to save game progress, with all advancement lost upon reset.
This flaw draws frustration, particularly among enthusiasts looking to relive the authentic experience or introduce Rayman’s early years to new generations through modern hardware. Prompted by mounting discussions on platforms such as Reddit, user BenjyMLewis contacted Ubisoft’s customer support to seek clarity.
In an official response, Ubisoft acknowledged receipt of evidence showing the issue, but communicated that ongoing support for Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition had ended.
In a paraphrased statement, Ubisoft support expressed appreciation for the player’s detailed report but clarified that, with post-launch support discontinued and the development team now focused on other projects, no further updates or fixes will be released for this particular problem.
The support representative further apologized for the inconvenience and stated that, while this outcome is disappointing, players are encouraged to contact Ubisoft for assistance with different issues in the future. Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition launched in June 2024 as part of a broader initiative honoring the franchise’s milestone.
While the collection has been praised for faithfully presenting Rayman’s classic gameplay across various platforms, the unresolved save functionality on certain legacy versions will remain a blemish for preservationists and completionists alike. Ubisoft’s decision to close post-launch support is not unprecedented in the industry, especially for anniversary compilations with limited development lifespans.
Still, it carries a reminder for players to consider known issues and post-launch strategies before investing in retro collections.
Fans can still enjoy many aspects of Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition on supported systems like the Nintendo Switch, where saving works correctly, but should be aware of limitations on the Jaguar and MS-DOS ports. For further inquiries or detailed troubleshooting, Ubisoft encourages users to reach out through official support channels.
