Summary
In a surprise update,Assassin’s Creed 3 Remasteredhas finally received official achievements support on Steam. This new feature comes almost six years after the launch of the remastered version ofAssassin’s Creed 3on the platform.
For quite some time, Ubisoft has been shipping quality-of-life updates, ranging from adding achievements to bringing better frame rate, to an array of titles in its back catalog. Earlier in February, it rolled out a 60 FPS patch forFar Cry New Dawnon PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Further back in November 2024, it gave thesame treatment toAssassin’s Creed Syndicateon current-gen consoles. When it comes to the in-game achievements feature, Ubisoft recently added it to its 2014 open-world titleWatch Dogs. Continuing this trend, the company has most recently released a desirable update forAssassin’s Creed 3 Remastered, giving the 2019 remaster a neat addition.
Assassin’s Creed 3 Remasteredhas received achievements on Steam, at last, as revealed inUbisoft’s latest announcement. The action-adventure title, which comes bundled with theTyranny of King Washingtonexpansion as well as the spin-off gameAssassin’s Creed Liberation, supports the newly added feature across all these games forAssassin’s Creedcompletionists. Importantly, the achievements are retrospectively unlockable, meaning that players who completed the required action before the latest patch would automatically unlock the corresponding achievement. What’s more, players who own the originalAssassin’s Creed 3instead of the remaster would also receive this useful feature.
Assassin’s Creed 3 Remastered Surprise Update Lands on Steam But More May Be Needed
Judging by the user reviews onSteam, it appears as thoughAssassin’s Creed 3 Remasteredneeds some more updates to improve its standing among fans. Apparently, despite being on Valve’s storefront for a long time, the remaster’s current state is still not reflective of thehighly rated originalAssassin’s Creedgameit holds within. After more than 10,500 reviews, it has an underwhelming “Mixed” rating on the platform, with players reporting a range of issues, including bugs and poor optimization. Although the latest quality-of-life addition may be a welcome change, Ubisoft may want to ship a few more to address other more important areas if it wants to elevate the game’s Steam rating.
Before the latest patch,Assassin’s Creed 3was in the news after reports of the game’s cut contentpotentially making its way intoAssassin’s Creed Shadowsemerged. With each day bringing fans closer to March 20, the launch date for the next chapter in the long-running series, it is only a matter of time before they also draw parallels betweenShadowsand its other predecessors.
