Windows 11 Update Delayed as Ubisoft Games Face Technical Issues

Some Ubisoft games may not receive Windows 11 version 24H2 upgrades from Microsoft. Players complained of crashes and black screens in popular games like Assassin’s Creed and Star Wars: Outlaws after the update, therefore the decision was made to remove the feature.

Microsoft has confirmed the issue and referred to it as a “compatibility hold.” Gamers have reported a number of difficulties, including freezes in loading or start modes, dark screens, and crashes when playing. Users are advised against manually installing the Windows 11 24H2 upgrade.

List of Ubisoft Games Affected and Their Reported Issues

This includes the following games:

• Assassin’s Creed Origins
• Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
• Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
• Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
• Star Wars Outlaws

Although Ubisoft has already made a temporary patch available for Star Wars Outlaws, Microsoft has warned that performance problems may persist. In an effort to permanently fix all of the impacted games, both sides are actively working on a solution.

The delay in the update is a safety step to keep these problems from spreading to more users. This is a really annoying problem to observe for players, particularly considering how popular these games are. Microsoft shows its dedication to providing a consistent gaming experience on Windows 11 with this change.

Players should also keep an eye on Ubisoft’s update status and hold off on Windows system updates until the problem is fixed. Additionally, the compatibility concerns show how difficult it is to balance gaming software with fresh system updates. Together, Microsoft and Ubisoft are making sure players can play their beloved games without any issues.
