Patch 1.0.5 is live on PC
Steam's July 22 post says the hotfix is PC only and was released specifically to alleviate stuttering issues experienced by some PC players.
Steam's official news feed says Ubisoft shipped a PC-only Title Update 1.0.5 on July 22, 2026 to alleviate stuttering issues. That is the current source-of-record status. It does not mean every freeze, hitch, or traversal spike is resolved, because Ubisoft still asks players to report cases that persist after updating.

Ubisoft also says some players reported success while asking others to continue reporting the issue if it remains after updating.
Treat community videos, comments, and forum posts as demand signals and reproduction clues, not as proof that every performance problem shares one cause.
Confirm the game updated to 1.0.5, restart the client, retest the same save area, and capture the exact conditions. The most useful report names whether the hitch happens in dense cities, sailing, cutscene transitions, or after a graphics-API change.
Check that the PC build actually moved to 1.0.5 before repeating an older 1.0.4 complaint.
Record GPU, driver, handheld or desktop hardware, and whether the issue appears with the same settings cap every time.
Name the mission, location, or action loop that causes the hitch so Ubisoft can separate broad stutter complaints from one reproducible edge case.
