Assassin's Creed Shadows Will Support Steam Deck At Release, Ubisoft Confirms
Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin's Creed Shadows will be playable on Steam Deck when it launches next week.
Assassin's Creed Shadows, the Japan-set latest entry in Ubisoft's long-running series, is the first game Ubisoft is bringing to Steam on day one since reversing its Steam release policy last fall. Despite that, Ubisoft had suggested in a previously posted Q&A that Shadows would not support Steam Deck at release because its specs were below the minimum PC requirements to run the game. Ubisoft took to X and reversed course on March 12. It is now saying that the game will work on day one.
Many of you have been asking about Steam Deck. We are happy to say that we are supporting Steam Deck at launch and are currently awaiting the level of classification from Valve. More info to come soon.

That note about "currently awaiting the level of classification from Valve" is important because that will determine whether or not Shadows is listed as Verified for Steam Deck or just Playable on Steam Deck. Valve will mark games as Deck Verified after it tested to ensure they have full controller support and will look and run adequately on the handheld hardware. If games don't meet all of the requirements, they will be marked "Playable" on Steam Deck.
