PS5 Pro Delivers Transformative Visuals for Assassin's Creed Shadows

Ubisoft's latest installment showcases significant graphical advancements on PS5 Pro, including ray tracing and enhanced lighting, ahead of its March 20 launch.

Assassin's Creed Shadows launches March 20, 2025, on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.
The PS5 Pro version features ray-traced global illumination in Performance Mode, unavailable on the base PS5.
Enhanced environmental lighting on PS5 Pro creates a 'generational divide,' making the game appear vastly different from the base version.
Both PS5 versions suffer from pixel crawl and blocky patterns, though the PS5 Pro mitigates these with superior lighting and reflections.
Critics praise Assassin's Creed Shadows as one of Ubisoft's most visually stunning games, with immersive environments like castle rooftops and bamboo groves.
