Assassin’s Creed Valhalla New Game+ Patch Is Way Bigger Than Anticipated, Adds PS5 Pro Support
Ubisoft has released a substantial New Game+ patch for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, more than three years after the game’s final major update. The New Game+ mode allows players to begin a fresh playthrough while retaining progression elements and unlocks from their completed save file, addressing the most frequently requested feature by players since the game’s 2020 launch.
The update has proven to be considerably more comprehensive than initial expectations, suggesting that Ubisoft invested substantial development resources into polishing and expanding the feature beyond a basic implementation. In addition to the core New Game+ functionality, the patch introduces support for PlayStation 5 Pro, enabling enhanced performance on Sony’s latest console hardware. This optimization ensures players can experience the expansive open world and detailed environments at improved frame rates or visual quality settings.
The addition of New Game+ comes after an extended period without major content updates. By finally delivering this widely-requested feature alongside technical enhancements for PS5 Pro, Ubisoft appears committed to extending the game’s lifespan and potentially attracting returning players who had moved on to other titles.
