Ubisoft: The return to Steam and what the future holds
The release of “Assassin’s Creed Mirage” on Steam marks a comeback for Ubisoft on the popular platform. After several years of absence, the developer is returning to Steam with the Assassin’s Creed series, which should please many fans. Ubisoft has also announced that the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows, set in Japan, will be available on Steam at launch. This shows that Ubisoft is reconsidering its strategy and refocusing on Steam.
Particularly interesting is the perspective for Steam Deck players While “Assassin’s Creed Mirage” is already running solidly on Ubisoft Connect, it remains to be seen whether special optimizations for the Steam Deck will follow. So far, tests have shown that the game works well on this mobile platform, but an official confirmation of additional adjustments is still pending. So players can look forward to seeing how the performance on the Steam Deck develops in the future.
