Assassin’s Creed Shadows requires an active connection to the network to install the physical version on disk, this is what emerges from the requirements released by Ubisoft shortly after the presentation of the game.
Major online retailers have opened pre-orders for Assassin’s Creed Shadows and are clearly reporting that an internet connection is required to install the game . Nothing new in reality regarding the French company’s titles since Avatar Frontiers of Pandora also requires a connection for installation , just as an Internet connection is mandatory for the installation of Star Wars Outlaws , due out in August .
The reasons are not clear, for example Avatar Frontiers of Pandora did not work without the day one patch installed and for this reason the network connection was absolutely necessary. Of course, well into 2024 it probably won’t be a big problem but many people turn up their noses at this choice, which still leads to a limitation of use in the case of purchasing the physical version: without a connection the game cannot be installed and for For some customers this may be a problem.
