Ubisoft has responded swiftly to technical concerns surfacing from players of Assassin’s Creed Shadows on Nintendo Switch 2.

The renowned publisher has officially confirmed it is preparing a software update designed to address the crash issues currently affecting users on the new handheld-console hybrid.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the latest entry in Ubisoft’s long-running series, launched to much anticipation, especially for fans eager to experience its open-world stealth-action gameplay on the Nintendo Switch 2. The company released a statement this week acknowledging the stability problems encountered by players.

Ubisoft noted, "We are aware of stability concerns impacting the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which may result in crashes.

These issues will be resolved in a forthcoming Title Update, scheduled for deployment next week.

The update will be available not only for Switch 2 users but across all supported platforms." This proactive approach underscores Ubisoft’s ongoing commitment to delivering a seamless gameplay experience for the global Assassin’s Creed community.

However, technical hiccups—common with the launch of major titles on new hardware like the Nintendo Switch 2—have prompted the development team to prioritize a fix. The update, set to roll out next week, is expected to improve game stability and significantly reduce the frequency of crashes reported by users.

Players can download the patch directly through the Nintendo eShop or via their console’s automatic update feature.

Ubisoft also assured fans that similar improvements are being rolled out on all platforms, reflecting a consistent commitment to quality and player satisfaction. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available now for Nintendo Switch 2, alongside other major platforms.
