Ubisoft’s taken to Steam to tell us that Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is fully compatible with the Steam Deck, and that the game is running quite well on Valve’s handheld.
You can dive right back into Edward Kenway’s tryst with the Caribbean at launch and enjoy all of the new features it’s bringing to the table, including ray-tracing, dynamic weather, and a fresh new look for the world and its denizens. We’re going to make a beeline straight for Havana when we get our hands on the game, and see if playing on the Steam Deck is everything the studio is promising.
It’s quite heartening to see Ubisoft spare no effort to ensure that the nostalgia-heavy remake manages to cast its spell on us just as well as the original Black Flag, while still bringing new touches like the new Assassin’s Creed Shadows-inspired combat system that’s sure to test your skills. Of course, you probably already know that the thing we’re most stoked about is just hopping onto The Jackdaw’s deck and exploring the seas to our heart’s content.
Thankfully, we’ve got roughly a week left before we indulge ourselves in a game that’s a reminder of the Assassin’s Creed franchise’s best years on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
