Ubisoft won’t bring its Assassin’s Creed Valhalla achievements to Steam

While some Ubisoft games have recently returned to Steam after a years-long absence, not all of the usual features fans expect have come along with them. At least that's the case for the Steam version of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, which is missing in-game achievement tracking on Steam.

This omission comes despite the fact that both the Ubisoft Connect version of the game and previous Assassin's Creed titles on Steam included the fan-favorite, platform-level progress-tracking feature. Achievements are also missing from the Epic Games Store version of the game, though that could be because the title was released on that platform before EGS supported achievements at all.

While players noticed this omission as soon as the game was relisted on Steam last month, it was only last week that an Ubisoft representative confirmed that the change was intentional. "Just to officially confirm... Steam achievements are not supported for this title," the rep wrote on the Steam forums for the game. "If there's anything more we can assist with, please let us know!"
