Ubisoft has released the highly anticipated Title Update 1.1.10 for Assassin's Creed Shadows, which includes exciting gameplay improvements, platform-specific upgrades, and a slew of bug fixes for players on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.

One of the most noticeable changes is increased weapon accessibility. Players can now obtain Bo weapons in the base game without owning the Claws of Awaji expansion. While these Bo weapons are listed as standard rather than Legendary items, they can be obtained from fallen enemies, chests, and merchants scattered throughout Feudal Japan. This update makes the iconic staff more accessible to all players.

The PlayStation 5 Pro update includes PSSR 2.0 support, Sony's most recent AI-driven upscaling technology. This upgrade promises sharper visuals and smoother gameplay, enhancing the overall experience over the original PSSR model. Meanwhile, Nintendo Switch 2 players now have keyboard and mouse support, offering an alternative control option for those who prefer precision over traditional controllers.

In addition to these platform-specific features, the 1.1.10 patch addresses numerous gameplay, UI, and perk-related issues, improving overall stability and progression tracking across all platforms.
