Ubisoft's claim that Assassin's Creed Shadows would be Steam Deck verified was met with skepticism, due to previous experiences with games that struggled on the device. However, upon testing, it was found that Shadows performs exceptionally well, with the gameplay experience holding around 30 FPS even in intense combat sequences. The graphics and visual details remain impressive, allowing players to enjoy the vast open world similar to their home console counterparts. While there are moments of struggle, the optimization for Steam Deck is commendable for a AAA game released in 2025.
