Assassin’s Creed Shadows Apparently Needs An Online Connection To Install Physical Copies
It seems like players will need an internet connection to install Assassin’s Creed Shadows if they purchase the game physically.
According to the game’s physical box at retailers like GameStop, there’s a notice at the bottom left corner that says, “Internet required to install the game.” There’s also some conflicting information. The notice doesn’t specify that an always-online connection is required to play the game–only just to install it. However, the PlayStation Store’s listing states that online play is required, suggesting that players need to have an internet connection in order to play it.
GameSpot has reached out to Ubisoft for comment.
