Summary

• Ubisoft is aware of the frame rate dip in Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Hideout and will address it in an upcoming patch.
• The developers will also make distracting enemies with Naoe’s Shinobi Bell more consistent, fix an issue with Yasuke’s Teppo skill tree, and resolve some quest-specific glitches.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows‘ glaring Hideout frame rate dip is in Ubisoft’s list of known bugs and will be addressed in a new update. Having just recently been released last week, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has received glowing reviews, as its long-wished-for feudal Japan setting has impressed players and critics alike. Its dual protagonists also seem to be a hit, as both Yasuke and Naoe provide players with wildly different types of gameplay, appeasing fans of both true stealth and the later open-combat-focused Assassin’s Creed games like Odyssey and Valhalla.

Early on in Assassin’s Creed Shadows‘ main story, players are introduced to the Hideout, a clearing that players can call their own and can build and decorate as they see fit. Players can find materials out in the open world that can be used to build useful structures within the Hideout, like a forge for upgrading weapons and gear, a dojo for training, and stables, which can help players’ scouts carry even more materials back to the Hideout. It’s also a place where players can display the many paintings and trinkets they might happen upon on their journey across feudal Japan.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows players have been noticing a dramatic frame rate drop while inside the Hideout, even with the game’s otherwise very smooth performance mode enabled. The good news is that Ubisoft is well aware of the issue and has it in its crosshairs to be fixed in Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ first major title update. On the game’s subreddit, Ubisoft posted a list of known bugs players have found and reported in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and while the list is somewhat small, the Hideout FPS bug sits near the top.

Assassin's Creed Shadows' Hideout Frame Rate Issue Will Be Fixed Soon

Given the nature of Assassin’s Creed Shadows‘ Hideout being a fully customizable area, it would have made sense for the frame rate to dip or to be intentionally capped off, but now Ubisoft has confirmed that it is indeed a bug. It’s not a huge issue for those who don’t spend a lot of time in the Hideout, though players are required to return to it periodically as part of the main story. As for some of the other bugs in Ubisoft’s Reddit post, the developers are aiming to make distracting enemies with Naoe’s Shinobi Bell more consistent, fix an issue with Yasuke’s Teppo skill tree, and resolve some quest-specific glitches.

While it’s not known when this first big Assassin’s Creed Shadows title update will arrive, players shouldn’t expect to have to wait too long. It would be smart for those who want to dig deeper into Assassin’s Creed Shadows‘ base-building Hideout mechanics to take this time to scour the open world for materials to be ready to build once the Hideout’s frame rate is fixed.
