30.10.2023 - 19:54 / gamespot.com / Rainbow VI (Vi) / Cameron Koch / Ubisoft / Will
Various versions of Assassin's Creed II, Brotherhood, Revelations, and Liberation HD will all be losing online functionality.
By Cameron Koch on
A total of 10 older Ubisoft titles will see their online services shut down on January 25, 2024, Ubisoft has announced.
Among the list of titles are numerous Assassin's Creed titles for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, which as of January will no longer support any form of multiplayer, the ability to link Ubisoft accounts, or claim Ubisoft Connect rewards. Other titles affected include Splinter Cell: Conviction for Xbox 360, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier for PC, Trials Evolution for PC, and others.
«Decommissioning the online services for older games is something we do not take lightly, however, it is also a necessity as the technology behind these services becomes outdated,» Ubisoft states in a blog post announcing the shutdown.
Below is the full list of titles affected by the shutdown:
It's not the first time Ubisoft has shut down services for some of its older titles. In October 2022, Ubisoft turned off online services for 15 games, including Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Far Cry 3. A previous round of shutdowns earlier in 2022 saw Ubisoft disable online functionality for an even larger number of titles (some of which were originally listed by mistake), including Rainbow Six: Vegas and Rainbow Six: Vegas 2.

Intel has 'no plans' to bring frame-rate boosting APO feature to older 13th and 12th Gen CPUs
With the introduction of its 14th Gen processors just last month, Intel introduced a new feature called Application Optimizer, or APO for short. It's a new scheduling technology to help boost frame rates in select games—very few select games, in fact, there are just two that support APO today. But that's not the only way this feature is limited, It's a 14th Gen exclusive feature and Intel says it has no plans to roll it out to older chips.

Rainbow Six Siege's next operator has the intimidating ability to press pause on nearly every gadget in the game
Eight years, 32 seasons, 70 operators. In all that time, Rainbow Six Siege players can point to only a few moments where the cornerstone of its meta—breaching—saw upheaval. In 2015 the Bandit trick proved Thatcher could be countered, in 2018 Maverick offered an unstoppable (but risky) option to brute force a wall, then Kaid offered protection for hatches. Alternate options for breaching charges and EMPs have slotted nicely into the meta since then, but I'm not sure anyone is ready for Tubarão.
