Assassin’s Creed Valhalla 1.0.4 patch details

The highlight of this update is likely the new feature that allows players to toggle between quality or performance. This introduces a performance mode and a quality mode for Xbox Series X, S, and PS5 players. Performance mode will ensure that the game automatically adapts the resolution and graphics quality of the game to maintain 60FPS. On the other hand, the Quality mode will ensure that the game is running at max resolution and graphics while ensuring 30FPS. This update enables Performance mode on Series X and PS5 by default and Quality mode on Xbox Series S.

Other changes include adding a new background image to the title screen, multiple VFX improvements, automatically assigning unspent skill points and more. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will also get multiple tweaks to make things more streamlined inside the game. Some of these include the addition of titles in the Weapon and Armor Runes sections, and increased fabric limit. We also got updates to gear quality, removal of duplicate gear from the inventory, heavy and light attack stats.

Ubisoft has also added stability and performance improvements, with fixes to screen tearing, VRAM and RAM leakage on desktop, and more. The company has also fixed instances when the load game did not showcase the saved games properly, renaming the cloud saves, and removing cloud saves from the save menu. Other fixes are range from graphics, audio, animation, in-game world, gameplay, combat, AI, UI, quests, side activities, and world events. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will also get updates in abilities, skills, raids, photo mode, and more. All the details for the changes in these aspects are available in the announcement post on the Ubisoft website.
