Ubisoft has rolled out patch 1.0.2 for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, delivering a plethora of important fixes and quality-of-life enhancements for the game. Released late last month, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has already made a significant impact in 2025, with players applauding its feudal Japan setting, dual protagonists, engaging stealth elements, and strategic combat—garnering an impressive 82 on OpenCritic.

The reception of Assassin’s Creed Shadows has largely been positive, though players have encountered minor inconveniences since its release. A major concern was the noticeable frame drops in the game’s home base, the Hideout, where players engage in constructing useful buildings and adding decorative elements. Although players don’t need to spend much time in the Hideout, Ubisoft had promised a solution in a forthcoming patch.

More details on patch 1.0.2, available starting April 8, detail that the update is approximately 19 GB for Xbox users, around 12 GB for PS5, and up to 16 GB for PC. Players can anticipate smoother visits to the Hideout, especially in Performance Mode. Additional features include a new item tagging system in the upgrade forge, streamlining the selling or dismantling processes for gear, enhancing usability, and efficiency in gameplay.

Overall, while patch 1.0.2 is substantial, Ubisoft has not labeled it as the first major title update, indicating that more significant updates may be on the horizon. For now, players can appreciate the numerous enhancements this patch offers.
