Overview

• 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.
