Ubisoft announced that Assassin’s Creed Shadows is going to be verified on Steam Deck when it launches March 20. This means that those who use the platform can play the upcoming title.
Initially, there was no plan to offer support for Steam Deck at the start. However, the studio revealed in a post that the development team has managed to make excellent progress. As a result, they were able to make it possible to offer this feature at launch. This should be good news to those who play on Steam Deck, considering that this has been one of the many player requests.
