Assassin’s Creed Shadows has finally landed on Nintendo Switch 2 - and this is one of the biggest third-party ports the system has seen so far.
In today’s breakdown, we’re taking a deep look at the native Switch 2 version with a full performance review: how it looks, how it runs, and how it holds up across docked and handheld play.
This isn’t a story recap or a traditional review - Shadows has been out for a while. Instead, we’re focusing entirely on the technical side: visuals, image quality, foliage density, shadows, DLSS, texture work, cutscenes, open-world traversal, and most importantly, real in-game frame-rate across multiple demanding locations.
From the burning village in the opening hours, to dense forests, to horseback exploration, and finally Kyoto - one of the most challenging areas in the entire game - this video covers everything you need to know about how Assassin’s Creed Shadows actually performs on Switch 2.
If you’ve been curious whether Ubisoft managed to push a game this large onto a hybrid system, or you simply want to know how the Switch 2 version compares to your experience elsewhere, this breakdown should help you decide.
Enjoy the analysis - and if you’re new here, I cover all things Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 daily, so consider subscribing.
Experience Assassin's Creed Shadows in a whole new and unique way with the Nintendo Switch™ 2, whether you are at home or on the go! Discover specific features tailored for the Nintendo Switch 2 version, including intuitive touchscreen controls for menus and map navigation but also hideout building.
MASTER THE DEEPEST STEALTH MECHANISMS OF THE SERIES AND FIGHT IN VISCERAL COMBAT
Play as Naoe, a quick-witted shinobi, and use light, sound, and shadows to evade detection. Infiltrate enemy strongholds with many parkour options including the new grappling hook, distract guards with shuriken or smoke bombs, and assassinate your targets with your Hidden Blade. As the samurai Yasuke, use silent bow takedowns or unleash devastating melee combos with your katana or naginata.
Switch between these two heroes to adapt your strategy and experience feudal Japan through two radically different approaches – stealth and strength, shadows and steel.
DEEP-DIVE INTO THE CAPTIVATING WORLD OF ASSASSIN'S CREED SHADOWS
Step into feudal Japan like never before! From majestic castle towns to serene shrines and sweeping countryside, Assassin’s Creed Shadows offers a breathtaking open world where dynamic seasons, shifting weather, and environmental destruction affect your tactical approach.
And, to get full immersion, experience the game through Japanese voiceover.
A GLOBAL HIT
Whether you are a veteran Assassin’s Creed player or new to the franchise, feudal Japan awaits you, with a community of millions of players!
