Assassin’s Creed Shadows Update 1.0.5 Out Now on PS5, Full Patch Notes Revealed

Update [Tue 27th May 2025, 3:30pm]: The latest update for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, version 1.0.5, is now ready for download on PS5. As previously stated, the file size is approximately 3.3GB, significantly smaller than its counterparts on other platforms.

To summarize briefly, the latest update introduces collaborative content for Dead by Daylight and Balatro, as well as enhancements to parkour and photo mode. The upcoming major update from Shadows, titled “the next big patch,” is projected to drop this coming summer.

You can get the full patch notes in the original article below.

Ubisoft had announced that they would release an update for Assassin’s Creed: Shadows by the end of May, and they have now provided all the details prior to its release on the 27th.

Anticipated to come in approximately 3.3GB on PS5, update 1.0.5 offers the previews quest for Dead by Daylight collaboration, enhancements in parkour functionality, new features for the photo mode, and a hidden Balatro challenge, it seems.

As a gamer, I find myself diving into the chilling world of Dead by Daylight, where I encounter an otherworldly threat that seems almost insurmountable – Naoe’s formidable foe. To overcome this challenge, I must employ unique mechanics at my disposal to navigate through the quest successfully. If I triumph over this daunting adversary, a themed trinket and banner will be mine to keep as a testament to my victory.

Additionally, you’ll find a Downloadable Content (DLC) package for Dead by Daylight in the store. This includes outfits, weapons, charms, and even a mount. Unfortunately, it seems like these additional items aren’t included in the free gameplay experience.

Regarding the Balatro connection, the update details are quite vague – it seems players will need to figure it out on their own through gameplay.

Additionally, the side mission titled ‘Thrown to the Dogs’, initially available only for pre-orders, will now be accessible to all players.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Update 1.0.5 Patch Notes

Thrown to the Dogs

With the latest update, every player will gain access to the “Thrown to the Dogs” pre-order bonus quest.

The quest is available in early game, once you have completed “From Spark to Flame”.

Dead by Daylight Event

At the hideout, you’ll find a fresh, complimentary quest tied to the event when you make Yasuke playable. Once you finish the event, you’ll get a gratis trinket and banner as rewards.

Balatro Trinket

Additionally, we’re introducing a novel charm for Naoe and an amulet named “Winning Hand” for Yasuke, which draws inspiration from Balatro. These fresh additions feature a legendary ability that offers a possibility for activating a random status effect upon the conclusion of combos.

Now… you will need to work together to figure out how to get it!

Bug Fixes

General

  • Fixed the issue where players had a persistent New Item notification in their inventory. We did it!
  • Addressed an issue where some players were given a new save file at level 60, with gear and all objectives uncovered.
  • Fixed an issue where the desynchronization warning for ‘killing civilians’ would appear without any reason.
  • Fixed an issue where romancing Lady Oichi before romancing Rin could cause a breakup.
  • Fixed various localization issues.

Balancing

  • Fixed an issue where the Samurai Daisho and Ronin occasionally gave an extremely high amount of Mon regardless of their level, disincentivizing other methods of gaining Mon.
  • We have also partially rebalanced the Mon economy to encourage more world exploration and gameplay activities to earn Crafting Materials and Hideout Resources instead of purchasing them through merchants.
  • In pursuit of this, we’ve bumped up the cost of Crafting Materials and Hideout Resources sold by Merchants and lowered the quantity available each season for each Merchant.
  • If you still want to purchase them, we’ve increased the amount of Mon acquired from completing contracts.

World

  • Fixed an issue where Yagoro would become trapped in a Kofun and not return to the hideout.
  • Fixed an issue where players could remain stuck inside the construction site at Osaka Castle.

Quests

  • Fixed an issue where players could not exit the quest “Vision of Realms” if they selected ‘Quit to Memories’ and loaded their progress from the Animus Memories menu.
  • Fixed an issue where quitting during the “Nobutsuna Sensei” quest caused Yasuke to become stuck in the flashback.
  • Fixed an issue where Yaya doesn’t join “The League” after being successfully recruited.
  • Fixed progress issues in the “Showdown in Sakamoto” quest that happened if Katsuhime previously died.
  • Fixed an issue in the “Wake Up Call” quest where the “troublemaker” couldn’t be hunted down.
  • Fixed an issue in the “Find Local Dishes” quest where Narezushi could not be obtained from merchants.
  • Fixed an issue in the “Wolves and Foxes” quest where players were not able to speak with Hattori Hanzo. I guess we’ll let you talk to him now.
  • Fixed an issue where players could not progress in “A Peculiar Guest”.
  • Fixed an issue where players could not complete the “Missing Missive” quest due to being unable to retrieve the letter.
  • Fixed an issue where the game would crash during the “Temple of the Horseman (An Eye for an Eye)” quest.
  • Fixed an issue in the “Diary of Lady Rokkaku” quest where Katsuhime’s letter would sometimes disappear. You got mail!
  • Fixed an issue where the game incorrectly believed Katsuhime was dead and players could not complete the “Diary of Lady Rokkaku” quest.
  • Fixed an issue where players could not complete the “Diary of Lady Rokkaku” quest due to Naoe and Katsuhime being attached to surrounding water. They just wanted to go on a little swim!
  • Fixed an issue where players could not complete the “Diary of Lady Rokkaku” quest due to Katsuhime dropping into the water and swimming to shore.

Stealth

  • Fixed an issue where the Shinobi Bell effect was blocked by line of sight from NPCs.

Combat

  • Adjusted an issue where the +600% affliction buildup engravings was a text error. It now has been fixed to reflect the real build-up amount of 6%.

Visuals and Graphics

  • Fixed visual issues.
  • Fixed some issues where the “Kaen” and “Sekiryu” mounts would not fully fit in the stables.
  • Fixed a visual issue with the “Samurai Daimyo Armor”.
  • Addressed an issue where players could sometimes see a giant NPC in towns.

Hideout

  • Improved stability for heavily customized Hideout.
  • Fixed an issue where players could sometimes not interact with Gennojo in the Hideout.
