The PC versions of Assassin’s Creed titles have traditionally faced delays, releasing weeks later than their console counterparts. This isn’t to be the case with Assassin’s Creed Unity, as Ubisoft has confirmed that their plans are to release all three versions of the game—Xbox One, PS4 and PC—at the same time.
In an interview with RPS, game producer Lesley Phord-Toy said, “We’re always aiming to ship all our games on all platforms at the same time.
“I don’t have any specific news on the PC version of Assassin’s Creed Unity, but I do know we’re planning on shipping on all three [platforms]: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. I haven’t heard any news differently than that.”
He added that the publisher is confident in its ability to ship all three versions at the same time.
“It can be challenging,” said Phord-Toy of the PC version. “PC has a variety of different hardware configurations that you can’t necessarily predict. On a console you know what’s in the box. Every customer has the same configuration for the most part, and first-parties push firmware updates so everyone has what you’re expecting to have. PCs are nowhere near as consistent. So it can be extremely challenging to try and support as many of those permutations as possible.”
