Stability fixes, outfit bugs, and less stuttering? Yes, please.

The shadows just got a little smoother. Ubisoft dropped Title Update 1.0.3 for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and while this one’s more under-the-hood than flashy, it’s exactly what we needed. Think of it as a quick tune-up before the next big adventure kicks off.

Let’s take a look at what got fixed, what got tweaked, and what’s still lurking in the shadows.

What’s New In the Patch?

This isn’t a major content drop—but it’s one of those updates that quietly makes the game way better to play. Here’s the short list of what got touched up in Assassin’s Creed Shadows:

  • Call Your Crew Again: That pesky issue where the Call Allies option went missing? It’s back. Time to rally the squad and cause some chaos like old times.
  • Multi-Sell Disabled (Temporarily): The feature that lets you multi-sell items at shops has been put on hold due to issues. No word on when it’s coming back, but hopefully soon.
  • Yasuke’s Outfit Glitch Got Squashed: That weird visual bug after dodging? Fixed. Now Yasuke can be stylish and deadly without the accidental wardrobe distortions.

Platform Fixes and Performance Wins

Let’s talk smoothness. This update brings a bunch of platform-specific performance buffs:

  • PC Players: Say goodbye to that annoying stutter and prologue crashes. Shadows now glide like a katana through silk.
  • PS5 and PS5 Pro: HDR + PSSR issues? Fixed. Random crashes? Handled.
  • Audio Dropouts: That moment where all sound vanished like a ninja? Ubisoft brought it back from the void.

File Size Breakdown

No surprises here—patch size for Assassin’s Creed Shadows varies depending on your platform:

  • Xbox Series X|S – 11 GB
  • PlayStation 5 – 492 MB
  • PC – 9.03 GB
  • Steam – 400 MB
  • Mac – 9 GB

(Yes, that 492 MB PS5 patch is pulling its weight.)

Final Thoughts: A Quiet Win for Assassin Fans

Assassin’s Creed Shadows might not be dropping new DLC just yet, but these behind-the-scenes tweaks go a long way in keeping the gameplay crisp. No major additions here—just stability, polish, and some much-needed bug control.

Keep your hidden blade sharp, and your updates sharper.

And if you’re still running into issues, Ubisoft wants to hear from you. Head to the official AC Shadows Bug Reporter and help make the next patch even better.
