Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is Steam Deck Verified at launch

Ubisoft's highly anticipated Black Flag Remake, which the company has been clear is a full remake and not just a remaster, is now days away from launch on July 9. Steam Deck gamers who have been waiting to find out whether they will be able to sail the Caribbean on the go finally have their answer, and it is a good one.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is Steam Deck Verified at launch. Ubisoft confirmed the news in a post on Steam, saying its teams worked hard to make the game playable in as many places as possible. A Steam Deck Verified rating means the game runs well out of the box with default settings, controller configuration, correct controller icons, and legible text on the handheld's screen.

Ubisoft has not confirmed specific frame rates for the Steam Deck version, which likely means the game targets 30 FPS on the handheld. That said, Steam Deck Verified status is also a decent indicator of broader PC performance. If the game runs stably on Valve's modest RDNA 3-based hardware, most modern gaming PCs should have no trouble with it. It is also worth noting that Steam Deck Verified games carry over to the Steam Machine, which runs the same underlying SteamOS software and features stronger AMD hardware.
