Assassin’s Creed Shadows Version 1.0.17 vs 1.0.18 frame rate test on Nintendo Switch 2 puts the newest update under the microscope. The major feature introduced in patch 1.0.18 is the addition of Screen Space Reflections on water surfaces, a visual upgrade that enhances realism and environmental detail. But the big question is whether this graphical improvement affects performance on NS2.

In this detailed frame rate comparison, we benchmark Assassin’s Creed Shadows before and after the update, analyzing FPS stability, frame pacing, and overall gameplay smoothness. By testing identical gameplay sequences in both Version 1.0.17 and Version 1.0.18, we can directly compare performance differences and determine if Screen Space Reflections introduce measurable drops in frame rate.

This Nintendo Switch 2 performance test focuses on open world traversal, combat scenarios, and water-heavy environments where SSR effects are most noticeable. If you’re concerned about whether the new patch impacts gameplay fluidity, this analysis breaks down the results clearly and objectively.

Whether you’re deciding to update Assassin’s Creed Shadows or simply curious about how the latest patch performs on NS2 hardware, this video provides a full technical comparison. Expect real-time FPS readings, side-by-side gameplay footage, and a breakdown of whether visual improvements come at a performance cost.
