Assassin’s Creed Shadows Confirmed for Steam Deck Launch

Ubisoft announces Steam Deck support for its upcoming Feudal Japan-set Assassin’s Creed entry, but performance details remain unclear.

Ubisoft confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will support Steam Deck at launch, allowing players to purchase and play the game directly from Steam.
Valve’s classification of the game for Steam Deck compatibility—Verified or Playable—is still pending, leaving questions about performance unanswered.
Set in Feudal Japan, the game introduces two distinct protagonists, Yasuke and Naoe, offering samurai and ninja playstyles respectively, with potential co-op teased but not confirmed.
Concerns remain about how well the game will perform on Steam Deck, as its PC system requirements suggest players may need to lower settings for stable frame rates.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows launches March 20, 2025, priced at $69.99 for the standard edition, with deluxe and collector’s editions available at higher price points.
