Following the launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows on Nintendo Switch 2, Digital Foundry has taken a closer look at the port with a new technical analysis, which goes over frame rate, resolution, and more. Ubisoft clearer made some changes and cuts here, but it seems the game holds up well – though things aren’t perfect.

Here’s the roundup of details:

Ubisoft is celebrating the new Nintendo Switch 2 version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows with a launch trailer. As of today, the action adventure game is out on the console.

Everything you need to know can be found in the following overview:

Assassin's Creed Shadows graphics comparison

We have another look at Assassin’s Creed Shadows on Nintendo Switch 2 as a video has emerged that acts as a comparison for the PS5 and Xbox Series S versions.

There are cutbacks as expected – elements such as lighting, level of detail, textures, animations, shadows, draw distance, and reflections have been adjusted. Still, this is ultimately the same game you’re getting on other platforms, and the overall aesthetics have been maintained.

Assassin's Creed Shadows gameplay

Ubisoft is about to deliver its second Nintendo Switch 2 port with Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and some of the first gameplay has now emerged. 35 minutes is available from the final retail build in docked mode.

Ubisoft recently delved into the work that went into this port, and it sounds like the team went all out. DLSS is used when played docked while a special VRR algorithm was made for handheld mode. More details can be found here.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be on Nintendo Switch 2 in just a few days, and Ubisoft has now gone into detail about the port – including confirmation that DLSS and VRR are supported.

Right out of the gate, all updates will be packed in with the exception of the Claws of Awaji expansion. However, that’s planned for February 2026. Cross-progression is supported across platforms and touch screen navigation will be available for menus, maps, and the hideout.

Assassins Creed Shadows Attack on Titan

Ubisoft today unveiled a special Attack on Titan collaboration for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which is bringing a new quest to the game. It will be available when the Nintendo Switch 2 version launches next week.

Here’s what’s included:

Valiant Hearts: Coming Home physical

Limited Run recently announced plans for a physical release of Valiant Hearts: Coming Home on Nintendo Switch, but we now have the full details.

There’ll be both a standard version and a Deluxe Edition. In the latter, buyers will receive a lithograph and pin set as bonuses.

The Rogue Prince of Persia secured its release date on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch today. For both systems, it’s due out on December 16, 2025.

Ubisoft confirmed plans to publish The Rogue Prince of Persia for Nintendo’s systems back in August. Initially though, we only had a 2025 launch window.

If you’ve been thinking about picking up Star Wars Outlaws on Nintendo Switch 2, you can grab it as a discount as the game is now on sale via the eShop. It’s been priced at $60 since launch, but you can save $15 to bring it down to $45.

Remember that the Nintendo Switch 2 version is the Gold Edition. That means aside from the base game, the season pass is included. The Wild Card story pack, A Pirate’s Fortune story pack, Jabba’s Gambit exclusive mission, The Kessel Runner character pack, The Hunter’s Legacy bundle, and The Cartel Ronin bundle are packed in as extras.

Assassin's Creed Shadows Nintendo Switch 2

Another rumored Nintendo Switch 2 is confirmed, with Ubisoft today officially announcing a port of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The port will be ready to go on December 2, 2025.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which only just launched in March, is the latest mainline entry in the action adventure franchise. This time around, dual protagonists Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke are featured in 16th-century Japan. The Nintendo Switch 2 version will support cross-progression and touchscreen usage on all menus – including world map, store, and hideout. All recent updates and free content drops are packed in with the exception of “Claws of Awaji”.
