Ubisoft has released update 1.1.10 for Assassin’s Creed Shadows across all platforms, but the most notable change is on Switch 2. The new patch adds official keyboard-and-mouse support, giving players a control style that is far closer to PC precision.
For a game built around stealth timing and combat flow, that precision can meaningfully raise player execution in infiltration routes, micro-positioning, and target switching.
Some pad users will naturally argue this creates an uneven input environment, but Ubisoft appears to be prioritizing flexibility in how players approach the game.
New Weapon Access Opens Up Even Without DLC
The patch also quietly broadens weapon access. Even without purchasing the Claws of Awaji DLC, players can now acquire non-legendary Bo weapons once they have obtained at least one “Unique Bo,” after which additional drops can appear from enemies, chests, and merchants.
This looks like a deliberate effort to lower entry barriers and expose more players to the weapon ecosystem without making DLC ownership a hard gate.
Beyond new features, the update focuses heavily on bug fixing, including broken fast-travel points, progression stalls around 97.89%, disappearing gear, invalid skill behavior, and “Missing Content” errors that could remove full equipment sets.
Taken together, this patch feels less like a minor tune-up and more like backlog completion from launch-period technical debt.
Switch 2 Update Size Is 5.4GB, So Storage Prep Is Recommended
Switch 2 users should also note the download size: roughly 5.4GB, which may require storage cleanup for players who mostly run physical-media-style setups.
In return, players get a more stable build plus a broader control toolkit, which makes the update a reasonable trade-off despite the larger install footprint.
