Assassin’s Creed Origins Crashed in User Reviews

Released in 2017 Assassin’s Creed Originsreceived positive notes from critics and was appreciated by the players. However, due to technical problems experienced after Windows 11’s 24H2 update, the game was bombarded with negative comments from Steam users. Players reported serious problems such as crashes, black screen issues and freezes, and reduced the game’s final review rating from “Very Positive” to “Mixed”.

Windows 11 Update Hits Assassin’s Creed Origins

The source of the problem is not Ubisoft, but Microsoft’s Windows 11 24H2 update. After this update, many players stated that the game did not open or became unplayable. Although Ubisoft and Microsoft announced that they are aware of the problem and working on a solution, a permanent solution has not been offered yet. The only workaround for now is to revert to the previous version of Windows, 23H2. However, this method is not a very practical option for many players.

Another thing that makes the situation worse is that Ubisoft offered the game for sale at a 90% discount as part of its winter sales. Some players expressed that they were disappointed due to the problems they experienced after purchasing the game by taking advantage of the discount. A user on Steam said, “You are giving a big discount, but the game cannot be played. SHAMEFUL!” He reacted by saying.

This unfortunate situation experienced by Assassin’s Creed Origins caused Ubisoft to have a bad start to 2025. In recent years, the company has not been able to meet expectations in projects such as XDefiant and Star Wars Outlaws. However, it aims to renew confidence with major productions such as the new Assassin’s Creed game announced for 2025.

Although the technical problem experienced by Assassin’s Creed Origins does not damage Ubisoft’s reputation, it tests the patience of the players. Whether the game can return to its former glory depends on how quickly Microsoft and Ubisoft can fix this problem.
