In a sorry begin to 2025, Ubisoft is having fun with a review-bombing marketing campaign on Steam, which has spilt onto social media. Followers are upset {that a} Microsoft Home windows replace has made what we imagine to be amongst the franchise’s best entries on PS5 unplayable on the PC platform.
IGN studies that this problem has been brewing since a minimum of late November when Microsoft launched an replace for Home windows 11 customers, model 24H2. This seemingly bricked a number of Ubisoft video games, together with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Star Wars Outlaws, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and, sure, Assassin’s Creed Origins. Outlaws and Avatar received patches to repair the problem, however the discontent amongst AC followers has lastly boiled over. Origins (which stars Tales of Kenzera: ZAU director Abubakar Salim as Bayek of Siwa) has grow to be the point of interest, most likely as a result of it’s the finest one.
Subsequently, Origins has dropped to an general “combined” overview rating, with most person reviewers citing the Home windows replace. Because of this, and lots of others, we desire to play on PlayStation, however the state of affairs demonstrates the hazards builders face when releasing on a number of platforms, even years down the monitor. Ubisoft, admittedly, determined now (and with out a repair) was an excellent time to place the sport on sale, which is one more reason some are upset.
