Ubisoft has released a new update for Assassin’s Creed Shadows on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. The update brings with it a host of goodies for just about every player, regardless of their platform of choice. Leading the pack is the addition of the Bo weapon—previously only available to those who owned the Claws of Awaji expansion—for all players.
A non-legendary Bo weapon can be found by exploring the main landmass of the game. However, to find more Bos from enemies and chests, a player would need to have found at least one Unique Bo.
PS5 Pro players also got a massive upgrade, with Assassin’s Creed Shadows getting support for PSSR 2. Ubisoft has said that this will lead to improved image quality and performance. Nintendo Switch 2 players can now change up their control scheme thanks to the ability to use a mouse and keyboard for added precision.
The update weighs in at 17.46 GB on Xbox Series X/S, 3.45 GB on PS5, 5.4 GB on Nintendo Switch 2, 14.66 GB on PC through Ubisoft Connect, and 4.4 GB on Steam. The macOS version of the update comes in at 9 GB. For a full list of all the changes made to the game, check out the patch notes below.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows was released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S last year before eventually also coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. For more details, take a look at our review for the base game, and its Claws of Awaji expansion.
