Assassin's Creed Shadows Receives Official Steam Deck Ranking

Believe it or not, the latest title for Ubisoft's ever-famous Assassin's Creed franchise is just mere days away, and we've already received an official Steam Deck ranking for those looking forward to trying the experience! As Valve's handheld console grows to become an evergreen in the industry, shaping the way gamers interact with their experiences as a whole, it becomes more and more important for these games to run on handheld devices.

Assassin's Creed Shadows' turbulent history has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. The game has faced its share of controversy — from early backlash surrounding its protagonist, Yasuke, a historical African samurai, to delays following Star Wars Outlaws’ less-than-stellar launch.

Whether its turbulent history ends after the embargo lifts or only grows after release, we'll have to keep our eyes peeled; however, there is good news on the horizon. The official Steam Deck rating came back from Valve, and there is good news for those who prefer to game on the go!

Officially, it has been confirmed that the Assassin's Creed Shadows release will be Steam Deck Verified on its launch, meaning that it should run without a hitch. Some titles have received backlash due to their ratings, so until it is in the hands of gamers, it might not be set in stone; this is still a very good indicator of the future, however.

Once Assassin's Creed Shadows releases on the 20th of March, players will be able to jump into the experience on their Steam Deck with a confident Steam Deck Verified badge to keep them confident in their ventures! You can pre-order the title now for £59.99 and watch the trailer above for more information.
