New Assassin’s Creed Shadows Update Brings Big Upgrades for PS5 and Switch 2

A new update for Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been released today by Ubisoft and it brings big improvements specifically to those playing on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 in particular. With AC Shadows now being over a year old, updates for the game have started to become a bit less frequent than before. Despite this, Ubisoft is still supporting Shadows in some big ways and has now let loose one of the title’s most important patches in months.

Downloadable now, update version 1.1.10 for Assassin’s Creed Shadows notably adds PSSR 2 support to PS5. This feature is one that is only available for those on PS5 Pro consoles, but it will greatly improve the visuals and performance of AC Shadows more than ever before. Conversely, Switch 2 users will now find that mouse and keyboard support has come to the platform.

When it comes to other changes that impact all players, Ubisoft has made it so that the Bo weapon in Shadows can be discovered by everyone. Previously, this weapon was locked behind the game’s Claws of Awaji DLC. Other than this, the update makes a usual slew of bug fixes and other minor tweaks that should resolve any errors players might have been frequently coming across.

To get a look at everything in this new Assassin’s Creed Shadows update today, the full patch notes courtesy of Ubisoft can be viewed below.
