Some players have complained about the sudden pop-up ads they saw on select Assassin’s Creed games.
A couple of Reddit users say that the Xbox and PlayStation versions of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey showed a pop-up ad whenever they navigated to the map screen. The worst part is, it’s a full-screen ad that really ruins the gameplay. The ads were for Ubisoft’s Black Friday offerings that promote the latest versions of the game.
Ubisoft then took to the Assassin’s Creed X account for an explanation. According to the publisher, they were trying to release an advertisement for Assassin’s Creed Mirage to be displayed on the main menu of other Assassin’s Creed Games. However, the company claims that a “technical error” caused the ad to be displayed on the in-game menu instead.
The company said that the issue has already been fixed.
We’re seeing similar ads from other games from different developers and platforms, however, none of them are less annoying. It’s especially more unwelcome for a game that you paid a lot for.
